Lettres Quotes

“We have again, my dear child, the most horrid weather you can imagine. It has been one continuous storm for these four days past. All our walks are under water; there is no such thing as stirring out. Our masons and carpenters keep close within doors: in short, I detest this country, and am every moment wishing for your sunshine, while you, perhaps, wish as much for my rain. We are both right.”
― Marie Rabutin-Chantal De Sevigne, Letters of Madame De Sévigné

“As for Lamousse, he catechizes Sundays and holidays: he is resolved to go to heaven. I tell him it is only out of curiosity, to see whether the sun is a heap of dust, continually in motion, or a globe of fire.”
― Marie Rabutin-Chantal De Sevigne, Letters of Madame De Sévigné
