Quote by Catherine de Medici

"The future is made of the same stuff as the present."

"A woman who cannot rule herself cannot rule others."

"I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will."

"When one's expectations are reduced to zero, one really appreciates everything one does have."

"I've seen a lot of things in my time."

"That's how we archaeologists tell time."

"We must learn from history or be doomed to repeat it."

"Every artifact tells a story."
