Diana Spencer, Princess of Wales (1 Jul 1961 – 31 Aug 1997) Favorite Quotes: "But Elizabeth is yours. Watch her as she grows; she's yours. She's a Tudor! Get yourself a son off of that sweet, pale girl if you can - and hope that he will live! But Elizabeth shall reign after you! Yes, Elizabeth - child of Anne the ***** and Henry the Blood-Stained Lecher - shall be Queen! And remember this: Elizabeth shall be a greater queen than any king of yours! She shall rule a greater England than you could ever have built! Yes - MY Elizabeth SHALL BE QUEEN! And my blood will have been well spent!" - Anne Boleyn; 'Anne of a Thousand Days' "That's the difference between me and you, I tend to find the impossible far more interesting." - Queen Elizabeth; 'Golden Age'. "It was then that I carried you..." - Mary Stevenson's poem 'Footprints' "Where words fail, music prevails." "I have no desire to make windows into mens souls" - Queen Elizabeth I "Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to the money then you die" - The Verve 'Bittersweet Symphony' What else you should know about me: I am an Senior-Undergraduate in college.
