Anne’s Quotes

“Did I not tell you that if you argued with the Queen she’d be sure to have the upper hand? I see that on one fine morning you’ll succumbed to her reasoning and cast me off!”

“Let me go let me go! Why don’t you see, why can’t you understand… I’ve been waiting for so long, and for what? In the meantime i could have contracted some advantageous marriage and born sons which is a woman’s greatest consolation in this life, but instead I’ve been wasting my time and my youth for no purpose at all!”

“No, no its too late, your life wont let you go! I should have realized.”
