No, do not love me, it is better to give me death!

Courage? The moment when my troubles are going to end is not the moment when my courage is going to fail me.

I trust we shall never be reduced to the painful extremity of seeking the aid of Mirabeau.

one's enjoyment is doubled when one can share it with a friend - and where can one find a more affectionate, a more intimate friend than in one's own family?

I have just been condemned, not to a shameful death, which can only apply to felons, but rather to finding your brother again...I seek forgiveness for all whom I know for every harm I may have unwittingly caused them...Adieu, good, gentle sister...I embrace you with all my heart as well as the poor, dear children.

I wasn’t raised, I was built.

Farewell, my children, forever. I go to your Father.
