I am said to be the most beautiful woman in Europe. About that, of course, I cannot judge because I cannot know. But about the other queens, I know. I am the most beautiful queen in Europe.

My love for my country is my religion.

Fashion exists for women with no taste, etiquette for people with no breeding.

Nothing's far when one wants to get there.

Are all ends of life so sad?

We who are placed above the crowd are not climbing ... so we are never out of breath.

Nothing is ours really, not even our own souls!
