Marie Antoinette

"Let them eat cake"

"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."

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

"I am not afraid. I was not made to be afraid."

"The day may come when I shall have to bid a long farewell to life."

"If I am to die, I shall do so with courage and without fear."

"I have only moments to live, but I face death without trembling."

"The beauty of life does not depend on how happy you live, but on how useful you live."

"Nothing is a greater impediment to progress in the sciences than the desire to see it take a particular form."

"One can never be too elegant."

"Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months."

"I have done no harm. Then why am I here?"

"Farewell, my children, forever. I go to your father."

"You are about to lose your mother. Console your sister."

"I grieve for the unhappiness I have caused you."

"I die innocent of all the accusations brought against me."

"I do not fear death; I have long expected it."

"May God accept my sacrifice."

"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion."

"Diamonds are a girl's best friend."

"How strange it is that life has so little to offer."

"I cannot truly remember what happened at the end."

"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now."

"In a world of endless possibilities, I chose my own path."

"It is the duty of every noble to serve the people."

"Grace under pressure is the ultimate virtue."

"I have loved much; I have forgiven much; and I hope much."

"True elegance comes from within."

"The crown weighs heavy on those who wear it."

"Music is the universal language of mankind."
