"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."
