“A marriage is no amusement but a solemn act, and generally a sad one.”
“Being pregnant is an occupational hazard of being a wife.”
“Great events make me quiet and calm; it is only trifles that irritate my nerves.”
“I don't dislike babies, though I think very young ones rather disgusting.”
“I would venture to warn against too great intimacy with artists as it is very seductive and a little dangerous.”
“The Queen is most anxious to enlist everyone in checking this mad, wicked folly of 'Women's Rights'. It is a subject which makes the Queen so furious that she cannot contain herself.”
“We are not interested in the possibilities of defeat. They do not exist.”
“The important thing is not what they think of me, but what I think of them.”
Quotes by Queen Victoria (Monarch of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland + British Empire – 1st Empress of India) died 22nd January 1901.
