Titania Quotes

“I ached for him, my stomach twisting painfully. He looked so desolate standing there alone facing a mad queen and several thousand angry fey. His voice was flat and resigned, as if he'd been pushed into a corner and had given up, not caring what happened next.”
― Julie Kagawa, The Iron Daughter

“If I showed you what was in my heart," she said, "it would burn you to a cinder.

"I've tried to burn you similarly," it said, "but you never even noticed when I opened my chest.”
― Chris Adrian, The Great Night

“Revelry isn't just the debauched pursuit of mindless, excessive--and often cruel-- pleasures as King Oberon and Titania have turned it into. It is supposed to be a place of art. No matter how seemingly frivolous, art can give a laugh, a light, a spark of pleasure relieves sorrow and uplifts the soul. It can tell truths and reach hearts better than dry, pedantic tomes. That's the true purpose of the Court of Revels.”
― Tara Grayce, Stolen Midsummer Bride

“As the last dish of confections was removed a weird pageant swept across the further end of the banqueting-room: Oberon and Titania with Robin Goodfellow and the rest, attired in silks and satins gorgeous of hue, and bedizened with such late flowers as were still with us. I leaned forward to commend, and saw that each face was brown and wizened and thin-haired: so that their motions and their wedding paean felt goblin and discomforting; nor could I smile till they departed by the further door.

“Be kind and corteous to this gentleman;
Hop in his walks and gambol in his eyes;
Feed him with apricocks and dewberries,
With purple grapes, green figs, and mulberries;
The honey bags steal from the humble-bees,
And for night-tapers crop their waxen tights,
And light them at the fiery glow-worm’s eyes,
To have my love to bed and to arise;
And pluck the wings from painted butterflies,
To fan the moonbeams from his sleeping eyes.
Nod to him, elves, and do him courtesies.”
― William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream

“Oberon: Ill met by moonlight, proud Titania.
Titania: What, jealous Oberon! - Fairies, skip hence:
I have forsworn his bed and his company.”
― William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream

“Be kind and corteous to this gentleman;
Hop in his walks and gambol in his eyews;
Feed him with apricocks and dewberries,
With purple grapes, green figs, and mulberries;
The honey bags steal from the humble-bees,
And for night-tapers crop their waxen tights,
And light them at the fiery glow-worm’s eyes,
To have my love to bed and to arise;
And pluck the wings from painted butterflies,
To fan the moonbeams from his sleeping eyes.
Nod to him, elves, and do him courtesies.”
― William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream

“You’re always welcome in Fairyland, girls,” Queen Titania replied with a sweet smile. ”You are our dearest friends!”
― Daisy Meadows, Nicole the Beach Fairy

“Let's assume it was probably internal fairy stuff. That cuts it down to three suspects."

"Three?"

"The three people who could have managed it.
Summer Queen, Winter Queen, Winter Knight. 1, 2, 3."

"Harry, I said it could have been one of the queens...."

I blinked up at the skull.

"There are more than two?"

"Yea... technically there are three."

"THREE?"

"...In each court."

THREE QUEENS? In each court?! That's just silly..."

"No, not if you think about it. Each court has three queens. The queen who was, the queen who is, and the queen who is to come."

"Greeeat.... Which one does the knight work for?"

"All of them. It's kind of a group thing. He has different duties to each queen."

I felt the headache start at the base of my neck and creep towards the base of my head.”
― Jim Butcher, Summer Knight

“Status is created by other people's attitude towards you. Titania has a retinue and it's the people around her that give her the status. It's like--was it Tyrone Guthrie who said it to Ian Holm when he was playing Henry V? 'Don't let anyone come within four feet of you.' It's all to do with how other people act in relation to you. That's what gives you the power.”
― Brendan O'Hea, Shakespeare: The Man Who Pays the Rent
