Ranavalona the Cruel: From the Book of Badass

"Never say, 'She is only a feeble and ignorant woman, how can she rule such a vast empire?'  I will rule here, to the good fortune of my people and the glory of my name!  I will worship no gods but those of my ancestors.  The ocean shall be the boundary of my realm, and I will not cede the thickness of one hair of my realm!"
-Ranavalona the Cruel
