Frases de Anne-Thérèse de Marguenat de Courcelles

Anne-Thérèse de Marguenat de Courcelles, por matrimonio madame de Lambert, marquesa de Saint-Bris, generalmente llamada marquesa de Lambert fue una mujer de letras y "salonnière" francesa.

Bajo la Regencia, cuando la corte de la duquesa de Maine, en el castillo de Sceaux, se divertía con frivolidades y cuando la del duque de Orleáns, en el Palais-Royal, se dedicaba a la depravación, el salón de la marquesa de Lambert fue al templo del decoro y el buen gusto, una reacción contra el cinismo y la vulgaridad de su tiempo. Para los ingenios de la época, fue un verdadero honor ser admitido en su famoso "martes", en que todavía respiraban el espíritu de la dignidad y el buen gusto del Gran Siglo. Wikipedia
