“There are certain souls who only become great when blown upon by the winds of misfortune.
Marie Antoinette, who was inconsequent as a princess and unpardonably frivolous in her life as a queen, nonetheless, was surprisingly transformed before the surge of blood and misery that flooded France.
Historians will be consumed by admiration upon discovering that from the Queen a martyr was born, and from the doll, a heroine!”
Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira
