"My mother sees things but from the distance, she does not weigh them in regard to my position; and she judges me too harshly. But she is my mother, who loves me dearly; and when she speaks, I can only bow my head."
Marie Antoinette, August 1775

poor Marie...not much for an indepentent teen, was she? like was the case with most girls back then... :(
Marie Antoinette's mother was a little too hard on her.
Some things never change. A mother doesn't always realize the effect she has on her daughter. Even today!
