Everyone likes flattery; and when you come to Royalty you should lay it on with a trowel. Benjamin Disraeli
If you're a Kennedy and you go to Italy or you go to Argentina, you're treated as royalty. And in the United States, we're endlessly fascinated by the family. Douglas Brinkley
Pleasure resorts are like film stars and royalty... embarrassed by the figures they cut in the fantasies of people who have never met them. Doris Lessing
Several people, not just reviewers, took me to task for writing about what they called the working classes - something I've been doing for 40 years.

Martin Amis
