Quote by Robert Icke

“Three noble heads cut off in sacrifice for her. But nothing - nothing - can deter the jostling swarms of madmen, pushing forth to jump into the abyss - to waste their lives - for her. And every day the scaffolds heave to hang the new - and newer - martyrs for her cause. Black day that England ever welcomed her.”

“My mother picked me up in her arms, touching my checks comforting my distress. I stared into her eyes and held her hair in my small hands, for the first time realizing what a moment in time meant. I touched her cheek and then looked away, knowing this was the truth to life, and there was nothing I could do about it. The truth that her death would one day occur made me realize that I never wanted her to leave my side. It was something I could not control, something no one could ever stop no matter how strong they were.”
