About Alexandre Dumas
To see the court without seeing Marguerite de Valois is to see neither France nor the court.
In giving my sister Margot to Henry of Navarre, I give my sister to all the Protestants of the kingdom.
Queen, I have no throne; wife, I have no husband!
I now know that some one is concealed here--that you are an unfaithful wife, but a faithful ally; and just now, I confess, I have more need of fidelity in politics than in love.
You can always weep when you wish to; but I, at the moment of my greatest sorrows, am always forced to smile.
