Quote

The ministers and the Jacobins are making the king declare war tomorrow on Austria. The ministers are hoping that this move will frighten the Austrians and that within three weeks we will be negotiating (God forbid that this should happen). May we at last be avenged for all the outrages we have suffered from this country!

More quotes by Marie Antoinette

Image
We had a beautiful dream and that was all. The interest of my son is the only guide I have, and whatever happiness I could achieve by being free of this place I cannot consent to separate my self from him. I could not have any pleasure in the world if I abandoned my children. I do not even have any regrets.
Marie Antoinette
Image
I had friends. The idea of being forever separated from them and from all their troubles is one of the greatest sorrows that I suffer in dying. Let them at least know that to my latest moment I thought of them.

If the people have no bread, let them eat cake.
Marie Antoinette

No one understands my ills, nor the terror that fills my breast, who does not know the heart of a mother.
Marie Antoinette
Image
Courage! I have shown it for years think you I shall lose it at the moment when my sufferings are to end?
Marie Antoinette
Image
I am terrified of being bored.
Marie Antoinette
Image
No, do not love me, it is better to give me death!
Marie Antoinette
Image
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.
Marie Antoinette
Image
And I will make thee beds of roses, And a thousand fragrant posies.
Marie Antoinette

one's enjoyment is doubled when one can share it with a friend - and where can one find a more affectionate, a more intimate friend than in one's own family?
Marie Antoinette
Image
I have just been condemned, not to a shameful death, which can only apply to felons, but rather to finding your brother again...I seek forgiveness for all whom I know for every harm I may have unwittingly caused them...Adieu, good, gentle sister...I embrace you with all my heart as well as the poor, dear children.
Marie Antoinette
