Sarah  Miller
“I'd like to know how anyone can write the truth about us if we've never met.”
Sarah Miller, The Lost Crown

Sarah  Miller
“I wish I wasn't an imperial highness or an ex-grand duchess. I'm sick of people doing things to me because of what I am. Girl-in-white-dress. Short-one-with-fringe. Daughter-of-the-tsar. Child-of-the-ex-tyrant. I want people to look and see me, Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova, not the caboose on a train of grand duchesses. Someday, I promise myself, no one will be able to hear my name or look at my picture and suppose they know all about me. Someday I will do something bigger than what I am.”
Sarah Miller, The Lost Crown

“I'll pretend, I tell myself. Pretending is safer than believing.”
Sarah Miller, The Lost Crown

Sarah  Miller
“My sisters and I sit together on a pair of suitcases. If we've forgotten anything, it's already too late -- our rooms have all been sealed and photographed. Anyway, Tatiana would say it's bad luck to return for something you've forgotten.”
Sarah Miller, The Lost Crown

Billie Burke
“Our minister was as confused as we were. "And now Flo," he would say to me, "you stand here'
"He's Flo, I'm Billie," I would say.
"Oh, all right, then, you stand here, Bill," he would say to Flo, and Flo would correct him.
"I'm Flo, she's Bill - I mean Billie."
But he married us and I am quite sure it was legal.”
Billie Burke, With A Feather On My Nose
