Alexandra quotes

[Grand Duchess Ayla]

I read this quote in a site of famous quotes of famous people, but I didn't remember the site's name. Was 3 or 4 years ago I read this quote.
Maybe it was written in her diary, I read that she wrote many quotes in her diary.

[Lady Macduff]

That sounds like it might have come from Alix's treatise on love and marriage. Even if the quote isn't here it's worth taking a look at.

[Grand Duchess Ayla]

Alix in a letter to Nicholas when he was trying to convince her to change her religion and marry him:

"I have tried to look at it in every light... but always return to one thing. I cannot do it against my conscience.
To do so would be a sin... and I should be miserable all the days of my life knowing that I had done a wrongful thing.
What happiness can come from a marriage which begins without the real blessing of God?"
