Robert K. Massie Quotes

When The Moment Of Departure Arrived, Catherine And Peter Accompanied Johanna On The Short First Stage Of Her Journey, From Tsarskoe Selo To Nearby Krasnoe Selo. The Next Morning, Johanna Left Before Dawn Without Saying Goodbye; Catherine Assumed That It Was "not To Make Me Any Sadder." Waking Up And Finding Her Mother's Room Empty, She Was Distraught. Her Mother Had Vanished - From Russia And From Her Life. Since Catherine's Birth, Johanna Had Always Been Present, To Guide, Prompt, Correct, And Scold. She Might Have Failed As A Diplomatic Agent; She Certainly Had Not Become A Brilliant Figure On The European Stage; But She Had Not Been Unsuccessful As A Mother. Her Daughter, Born A Minor German Princess, Was Now An Imperial Grand Duchess On A Path To Becoming An Empress.
