Quotes and Images From Memoirs of Marie Antoinette
Campan, Mme. (Jeanne-Louise-Henriette)
Quotations
She often carried her economy to a
degree of parsimony
Shocking to find so little a man in the
son of the Marechal
Shun all kinds of confidence
Simplicity of the Queen's toilet began
to be strongly censured
So many crimes perpetrated under that
name (liberty)
Spirit of party can degrade the
character of a nation
Subjecting the vanquished to be tried
by the conquerors
Taken pains only to render himself
beloved by his pupil
Tastes may change
That air of truth which always carries
conviction
The author (Beaumarchais) was sent to
prison soon afterwards
The Jesuits were suppressed
The three ministers, more ambitious
than amorous
The charge of extravagance
The emigrant party have their intrigues
and schemes
The King delighted to manage the most
disgraceful points
The anti-Austrian party, discontented
and vindictive
There is not one real patriot among all
this infamous horde
They say you live very poorly here,
Moliere
Those muskets were immediately embarked
and sold to the Americans
Those who did it should not pretend to
wish to remedy it
To be formally mistress, a husband had
to be found
True nobility, gentlemen, consists in
giving proofs of it
Ventured to give such rash advice:
inoculation
Was but one brilliant action that she
could perform
We must have obedience, and no
reasoning
Well, this is royally ill played!
What do young women stand in need
of?--Mothers!
When kings become prisoners they are
very near death
While the Queen was blamed, she was
blindly imitated
Whispered in his mother's ear, "Was
that right?"
"Would be a pity," she said, "to stop
when so fairly on the road"
Young Prince suffered from the rickets
Your swords have rusted in their
scabbards
