Memorable Quotes from Elizabeth Young
2 quotesStruggles of Friendship and Power Dynamics
Jacob
The Queen is selfish. It is simple for her. She orders and you obey. How long are you going on this way? Every time we meet, you promise to tell her you love me and that you want to marry me and you never do.
Ebba
The trouble is the Queen is so dominating. She's interested only in her own concerns. She never asks me.
Christina
It is you I cannot forgive, Ebba. You needn't fear my domination any longer.
Ebba
Your Majesty, please.
Christina
You pretended to be interested in me and my problems. Your sympathy, your concern - all pretense, underneath which you resent me.
Ebba
Oh, you do not understand, your Majesty.
Christina
The difficulty, Ebba, is that I do.

A Promise of Freedom and Escape
Christina
But we'll go afterward, Ebba.
Ebba
Oh, you always say that, but at the end of the day, you're never free to go anywhere. You're surrounded by musty old papers and musty old men and I can't get near you.
Christina
Today, I'll dispose of them by sundown, I promise you, and we'll go away for two or three days in the country. Wouldn't you like that?
Ebba
Oh, I'd love it.
