Quotes:

Catherine: [voiceover] I'm told that in France they call me "Catherine le Grand." *Le* Grand... the masculine gender. "Catherine the Great."

Catherine: I was just thinking of a line from our favorite poet.::Potemkin: How like you. Which one?::Catherine: Nunc scio quid sit amor.::Potemkin: [smiles and translates] Now I know what love is.

[to Saltykov, regarding Catherine]::Elizabeth: I didn't bring her here to read books. I brought her here to breed sons.

[first lines]::Catherine: The 21st of August 1745... my wedding day. I was fifteen. The Grand Duke Peter was two years older, and we were both pawns in a political game.

Razumovsky: [refering to his position as lover to Empress Elizabeth] The Emperor of the Night takes many positions, but none of them political.

Catherine: [to Countess Bruce] My dear, I am about to seize the throne of Russia. What on earth shall I wear?

[to Potemkin]::Catherine: [in Latin, quoting Vergil] Blessings on your courage, boy; that's the way to the stars.

[on building an empire]::Pugachev: To build a house, you must first level the ground!::Catherine: Oh no. You lay foundations.

[Catherine refuses to come to a state dinner]::Peter: This is an insult to an honored guest!::Catherine: Oh, you honor him, do you?::Peter: Yes, I do!::Catherine: Then why have you sent him to dinner on the arm of your whore?

Elizabeth: But now tell me, when I'm dead, will you seek to take power?::Catherine: Yes.
