“The sea of night was at low tide. That dreaded zone where the worst that has happened to you resurfaces to assail you once again and drag you to the bottom.”
Chantal Thomas, Farewell, My Queen
“After the old lady's death, the little girl is the only truthful person left.”
Chantal Thomas, The Exchange of Princesses
“The original exchange is made in reverse. The dowager queen of Spain for the queen-infanta of France. A half-mad teenager for a deposed child.”
Chantal Thomas, The Exchange of Princesses
“une fois qu’on a goûté au pouvoir, on a du mal à s’en déprendre. On a beau être lucide, savoir que plus l’on gagne en puissance, moins l’on compte personnellement, puisque l’on n’est qu’un pion sur l’échiquier des ambitieux qui s’agitent au-dessous de vous, on s’accroche, on repousse autant que possible le moment de sortir du cercle de lumière, de son bruissement de louanges et compliments – le moment où l’on va se trouver seul dans le noir, chassé du monde, rayé des vivants.”
Chantal Thomas, L'échange des princesses
