"In a month’s time, I shall be able to give your Majesty news of the Comtesse de Provence, for the marriage is fixed for May 14th; they had prepared many fetes for this marriage, but now they are economising in them for want of money."

— Marie Antoinette

Courage! I have shown it for years; think you I shall lose it at the moment when my sufferings are to end?

"I have come, Sire, to complain of one of your subjects who has been so audacious as to kick me in the belly."

"No harm will come to me. The Assembly is prepared to treat us leniently."
