“"En a fin est mon commencement"("In my end, is my beginning")”
Mary Stuart, queen of Scots -
“This is what sin looks like, she thought. His happens to be visible on his face, that is all. Mine and Bothwell's is as yet invisible. But all sin is as ugly as this, could we but see it.”

“Perhaps my marriage could have been better, had my bride wished to marry me. She did not; her brother sold her as he is selling her now. The man she wished to marry was promised to someone else. It was hard for her. But she made it hard for me, as well. Arranged marriages take a toll. Sometimes I think the hardest way to earn money is to marry it.”
Bothwell to Queen Mary
