1 " It was like the first time I visited Versailles. There was an eerieness, like I'd been there before. I don't know if I was Louis XIV or Marie Antoinette or a lowly groundskeeper, but I lived there. "
― Maurice Minnifield
2 " An angry discussion followed, during which belligerent ministers, who had come to the convention in an attempt to disrupt it, read aloud passages from the Bible to disprove Antoinette Brown's contention of equality. They read passages like " Let your women be silent in the churches; for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience," and " Likewise, ye wives, be in subection to your own husbands. "
3 " I never really thought about how when I look at the moon, it's the same moon as Shakespeare and Marie Antoinette and George Washington and Cleopatra looked at. "
― Susan Beth Pfeffer , Life As We Knew It (Last Survivors, #1)
4 " Never in a million years would I want to live at Versailles with Marie Antoinette or anybody else. I hate to tell you this but I did not even like visiting Versailles. I found it just too ornate. It was like a complete diet of cotton candy, marzipan, and whipped cream. "
