“you’re the Queen,’ he said softly, then smiled into her eyes with a sweetness that took her breath away. ‘Despite received wisdom, you’re the most powerful personage on the board. But overused and too easily exhausted by your strengths. And the demands put on them by others.”
― Jane Dunn, The Marriage Season

“Catherine’s motto could well have been that genius is a long patience. With the successive reigns of her sons came her chance to show the world how they had underestimated this disregarded queen. What Catherine lacked in beauty she made up for in intelligence, cunning and family ambition.”
