Kings who become prisoners are not far from death.
Erst im Unglück weiß man wahrhaft, wer man ist.

It was like the first time I visited Versailles. There was an eerieness, like I'd been there before. I don't know if I was Louis XIV or Marie Antoinette or a lowly groundskeeper, but I lived there.
Ingrid shrugged...like Marie Antoinette hearing about the starving peasants.
