Marie Antoinette Quotes
A collection of quotes by Marie Antoinette.
Marie Antoinette (1755-1793) was the last queen of France before the French Revolution. Born in Austria, she married Louis XVI at the age of 14 to strengthen diplomatic ties. Her lavish lifestyle and reputation for extravagance, coupled with the country's economic instability, contributed to her unpopularity among the French people. Marie Antoinette's life was tragically cut short when she and her husband were executed by guillotine during the Reign of Terror. She remains a controversial figure, remembered for her association with the French monarchy's decline and her famous quote, "Let them eat cake."
