Book: Queen Margot

Now he thinks of only one thing - to be king: for this purpose he is ready to sacrifice everything, than possesses, and much more so what is not.

Alas, Madam, I love you so much that your every wish is my desire, at least it was the misfortune of my entire life.

You loved and every time Your love was fatal to those who loved You - they were taken by death, as if jealous of You.

- You make the difference between Catholics and Huguenots?
- In politics?
Yes.
- Of course.
- And in love?
- Dear friend, we women, to the extent of a Gentile in this matter, tolerate any sect and worship multiple gods.

No tribal disputes, no treachery in love; all is fair, nobly, frankly, in a word, defensive and offensive Alliance with a single goal: to find and instantly miss the fleeting, which is called happiness, if it is there.

Never had such an enthusiastic reception so deservedly, as the Queen of Navarre. The Margarita was barely twenty years old, and already all the poets sang her praises; some have compared her to Aurora, others Liferea. The beauty she had no equal even here, in this yard, where Catherine de Medici tried to pick up on the role of its sirens, the most beautiful women he could find. She had black hair, amazing complexion, sensual eyes with long eyelashes, penciled scarlet mouth, slender neck, luxury slender body and small, children's feet in satin shoes. The French were proud that their native soil grew this amazing flower, and the foreigners, having been in France, returned to his home dazzled by the beauty of Margaret, if they were able to see her, and amazed her education if they were able to talk to her. In fact, Margaret was not only beautiful but also the most educated woman of her time; that is why often recalled the words of one Italian scientist which was presented and which, after talking with her for an hour in Italian, Spanish, Greek and Latin, excited said: "to Attend at the court without seeing Marguerite de Valois, then not see nor France, nor the French court".

Giving my sister to Henry of Navarre, I give my heart to all the Huguenots of my Kingdom.

To attend at the court without seeing Marguerite de Valois, - means not to see nor France, nor the French court.

First, we need to win, and after the war and the Council.

Lord Jesus! What would have happened if the wedges were not leather, and wood?

... exclaimed Catherine with her unusual boldness before the last will of his son.

But if this observer was not in the galleries of the Louvre, but he was on the street where menacing heard him murmuring, and anger sparkled in his eyes: it was the people, his instinct is extremely keen hatred; he watched from afar the silhouettes of the implacable enemies and interpreted their feelings also innocently as it does prooi, staring at the locked Windows of the hall, where dancing. Music captivates and leads dancers, and a passerby sees some motion and without hearing the music, laughing at how these puppets jump and fuss for no apparent reason.

... and every woman, even the ordinary, when she really loves, love is incompatible with the humiliation, because real love is too ambitious.

This - all of human wisdom. The greatest, the strongest, the most clever is the one who knows how to wait.
