Zitat des Tages von Marie Antoinette:
My mother sees things but from the distance; she does not weigh them in regard to my position, and she judges me too harshly. But she is my mother, who loves me dearly; and when she speaks, I can only bow my head.
Courage! I have shown it for years; think you I shall lose it at the moment when my sufferings are to end?
There is nothing new except what has been forgotten.
Let them eat cake.
No one understands my ills, nor the terror that fills my breast, who does not know the heart of a mother.
I was a queen, and you took away my crown; a wife, and you killed my husband; a mother, and you deprived me of my children. My blood alone remains: take it, but do not make me suffer long.
I have seen all, I have heard all, I have forgotten all.
Your Majesty may rest assured about my conduct towards the Comtesse de Provence; I will certainly try and gain her friendship and confidence, without going too far.
I feel more and more, every day of my life, how much my dear mamma has done for my establishment. I was the youngest of all her daughters, and she has treated me as if I were the eldest, so that my whole soul is filled with the most tender gratitude.
I should be very sorry if the Germans disapproved of me.
