Philippa Gregory Quote

What’s her secret, d’you think? I think they’re very alike. My distaste for the two of them crept into my tone. They both know exactly what they want and they both stop at nothing to get it. They both have the ability to be absolutely single-minded. It’s why the king was such a great sportsman. When he chased a stag he saw nothing in his whole heart but the stag. And Anne is the same. She schooled herself to follow only her interest. And now their desires are the same. It makes them . . . I paused, thinking of the right word. Formidable, I said.
