... you can learn from:
Marie-Antoinette: [to her first-born, a daughter] Oh, you were not what was desired, but that makes you no less dear to me. A boy would have been the Son of France, but you, Marie Thérèse, shall be mine.
Sometimes it is brought to my attention that not everyone thinks Sofia Coppola's film about the french queen is a masterpiece and it's like part of my body retracts, turtle-like (I won't say which part) - I can't fathom thinking this film any less than a grand achievement with a grand performance from Kristen Dunst. I won't! I shan't, even! Such thoughts are poppycock, mere poppycock.
