Quotes 

• Louis XIV : God has made his plans and we cannot question his design, just as my people cannot question mine, but they will. They mean to kill me, friend, they would kill us all to preserve the past, they may succeed, but change will come no matter what, and if we are to endure, there is only one course.

  Bontemps : Which is what, Sire?

  Louis XIV : We must lay our own foundation here.

  Bontemps : Why here, Sire?

  Louis XIV : Because I won't be king of Paris. I know who I am. I am Louis XIV. I am King of France.
