“Heard straight from Napoleon’s mouth himself,” I say. “Champagne! In victory we deserve it, and in defeat we need it.”
Rebecca Rosenberg, Champagne Widows: First Woman of Champagne, Veuve Clicquot

“From then on, my sense of smell swelled beyond reason. Mostly ordinary odors, but sometimes I imagine I can smell the stink of a lie. Or the perfume of a pure heart. Or the heartbreaking smell of what could have been.”
Rebecca Rosenberg, Champagne Widows: First Woman of Champagne, Veuve Clicquot
