The idea is not to please the most amount of people. Growing up in Versailles, the idea was to please the least amount of people.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Never in a million years would I want to live at Versailles with Marie Antoinette or anybody else. I hate to tell you this but I did not even like visiting Versailles. I found it just too ornate. It was like a complete diet of cotton candy, marzipan, and whipped cream.
One of the many pleasures of 'Versailles' is the way in which it seems to emanate not only from the vexed inner being of Marie Antoinette but from the interstices between what we imagine of her and what she was.
I hate to tell you this, but I did not even like visiting Versailles. I found it just too ornate. It was like a complete diet of cotton candy, marzipan, and whipped cream. It gave me the mental equivalent of one of those toothaches you get when you bite into something too sweet.
All people have a natural desire to be needed, to have their importance to others tangibly confirmed.
Can anything be so elegant as to have few wants, and to serve them one's self?
You can't please everybody all the time, but you can please a majority.
You can't please everyone, nor should you seek to, because then you won't please anyone, least of all yourself.
I wish that the world's food was spread evenly on everybody's plate, and that no-one got more or less than anyone else.
It was my idea for high culture and popular culture to be treated equally.
Our idea is to serve everybody, including people with little money.
