...I do have to wonder what sort of childhood the Grimm brothers endured. They are not a merry bunch of storytellers, what with their children roasted by witches, maidens poisoned by old crones, and whatnot.

Libba Bray

Good day, fair maidens.

Val Venis

Plays...Maidens aspiring to Godheads and vice versa!

Tom Stoppard

Gentlemen and maidens in this general vicinity, how doth it go?

Ron Killings

Maidens hearts are always soft: Would that men's were truer!

William C. Bryant

If there were no such creatures as minstrel-maidens, it would be necessary to invent them.

Jack Vance

Her very frowns are fairer far Than smiles of other maidens are.

Hartley Coleridge

For in pure maidens, knowing not the marriage-bed, the glance of the eyes sinks from shame.

Aeschylus

The subtle sauce of malice is often indulged in by maidens of uncertain age, over their tea.

Antoine Rivarol

Erin Morgenstern

During those years with the Iron Maidens, I felt I had to be great and really prove myself at every single show.

Nita Strauss

If you're in a business where Latinos only play Indian maidens and what I call 'Conchita Lolita' parts - the little fiery spitfires - you do what you have to do.

Rita Moreno

Maidens, like moths, are ever caught, by glare, And Mammon wins his way where seraphs might despair.

Lord Byron

Novels, since the birth of the genre, have been full of rejected, seduced, and abandoned maidens, whose proper fate is to die.

Margaret Drabble

If I have to pick one story that most influenced 'The Hunger Games,' it would be the Greek myth of Theseus, which I read when I was about 8 years old. In punishment for past deeds, Athens periodically had to send seven youths and seven maidens to a labyrinth. In the maze was this Minotaur, and it would eat them.

Suzanne Collins

It is a condition of monsters that they do not perceive themselves as such. The dragon, you know, hunkered in the village devouring maidens, heard the townsfolk cry 'Monster!' and looked behind him.
