I am sorry for you. And I am sorry for me. When you are sent back to me, perhaps a month from now, perhaps a year, I will try to remember this day, and you looking like a child, a little lost among al...
He likes to think well of himself, I explained, watching the turn of Anne’s head and hearing her ripple of low laughter. He could not bring himself to turn off a woman just because she’s become old. H...
For who could resist a woman who could fall from being queen to commoner and yet still carry herself as if greatness was within?
But I want to be loved. I have always been loved. I want my husband to love me with a passion, like in a troubadour tale, like a knight.
You’re a girl from the House of Lancaster. You cannot fall in love with the heir to the House of York unless he is king victorious, and there is some profit in love for you. These are hard days we are...
Your son is heir to an enormous fortune and name. Someone would be bound to bid for you him and take him as his ward.
We are two women who have recognised that we cannot control the world. We are players in this game but we do not choose our own moves. The men will play us for their own desires. All we can do is try...
War does not answer war, war does not finish war. The only ending is peace.

Lo llamaban convivencia: vivir unos junto a otros en armonía, sin importar sus creencias, puesto que el enemigo no es aquel que cree en un dios; el enemigo es la ignorancia y la gente que no cree en n...
I would know you anywhere for my true love. Whoever I was and whoever you were, I would know you at once for my true love.
I want to take you for pleasure, and hold you in my arms for desire. I want you to know that it is your kiss that I want, not another heir to the throne. You can know that I love you, quite for yourse...
I think I’ve had my best days and I never expect to be happy again. But no, you’re wrong. I want to live. I would rather live than die and I would rather be queen than dead. But I’m not frightened of...
I stood beside the queen’s chair and knew that any man looking from her to me would think that she was a fine woman, but old enough to be my mother, while I was a woman of only fourteen, a woman ready...
I look up into his face and catch a glimpse of an emotion I never expected to see. His hazel eyes are warm, his mouth is tender. He looks like a man in love.
