The Empress of Tears Quotes

“Your highness I do not believe I have ever seen anyone as beautiful as you are. All of Russia will be filled with pride today at the sight of her new empress.”

“Did he still love me? Did I still love him? Or were our respective silences so filled with mutual blame and unspoken recriminations that, like the forests of Poland, all you could see were thick, dark trees devoid of either light or space, where it seemed as though, no matter how hard you looked or how far you might choose to walk into that vast forest, you would never come out on the other side; that this was all there was and all there ever would be.”
― Kathleen McKenna Hewtson, The Empress of Tears
