QUOTES AND IMAGES: CAMPAN'S MARIE ANTOINETTE

MEMOIRS OF MARIE ANTOINETTE

By Madame Campan

A man born solely to contradict

Advised the King not to separate
himself from his army

Ah, Madame, we have all been killed in
our masters' service!

Alas! her griefs double mine!

Allowed her candles and as much
firewood as she wanted

Better to die than to implicate anybody

Brought me her daughter Hortense de
Beauharnais

Carried the idea of the prerogative of
rank to a high pitch

Common and blamable practice of
indulgence

Condescension which renders approbation
more offensive

Customs are nearly equal to laws

Difference between brilliant theories
and the simplest practice

Dignified tone which alone secures the
respect due to power

Displaying her acquirements with rather
too much confidence

Duc d'Orleans, when called on to give
his vote for death of King

Elegant entertainments were given to
Doctor Franklin

Etiquette still existed at Court,
dignity alone was wanting

Extreme simplicity was the Queens first
and only real mistake

Fashion of wearing a black coat without
being in mourning

Favourite of a queen is not, in France,
a happy one

Formed rather to endure calamity with
patience than to contend

Grand-Dieu, mamma! will it be yesterday
over again?

Happiness does not dwell in palaces

He is afraid to command

His ruin was resolved on; they passed
to the order of the day

His seraglio in the Parc-aux-Cerfs

History of the man with the iron mask

How can I have any regret when I
partake your misfortunes

I hate all that savours of fanaticism

I do not like these rhapsodies

I love the conveniences of life too
well

If ever
