Marie Antoinette

I like to spend money.

There is nothing new except what has been forgotten.

I am afraid of boredom.

I have seen all, I have heard all, I have forgotten all.

My tastes are not those of the public.

I was a queen, and I had a king, and I had a court, and I had a husband. I was a wife, and I was a mother. I was a friend, and I was a sister. I was a daughter, and I was a granddaughter. I was a niece, and I was a cousin. I was a woman.

I always fear that I shall be accused of extravagance.

I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of falling into the hands of my enemies.

The Dauphin is growing up, and I am growing old.

I have been unfortunate enough to be a queen.

How can I be happy when I am so miserable?

I am perfectly well, and I have nothing to complain about.

I am weary of life.

One must not be afraid to die.

I regret nothing.

Adieu, my dear children, I go to rejoin your father.

I hope that my death will make the people happy.

I am not rich enough to buy new dresses every day.

It is not enough to be a queen; one must be a mother.

I wish for nothing but peace and quiet.
