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."

"Fear drives civilization. Without it, there is only chaos."

"Order through chaos. That's the only real answer."

"Politics and power corrupt when they're separated from purpose."

"The system isn't broken—it was built this way. We have to rebuild it."
