I haven’t finished the third and last book in Alexander Dumas’ series on Marie-Antoinette yet. I have a couple hundred pages left to go but things have been rather hectic and I haven’t been able to devote as much time to it.
In the meantime, here are some passages and quotes that I found appealing:
”The most prudent line of conduct now. . .is to be courageous.”
” . . . and the tears, which for so long a time had been restrained, burst forth from her eyelids, trickled down her cheeks and inundated her bosom; but instead of being bitter, these tears were sweet- instead of oppressing her, they disburdened her heart.”
“Posterity reconsiders the judgements of men.”
