Context

This quote is *widely attributed* to Elizabeth Bathory in various popular culture and unofficial historical accounts, but *no verifiable primary source* confirms she ever uttered these exact words. It is likely apocryphal, intended to convey her perceived personality. Therefore, confidence is low. I am including it with this caveat as the user requested surprising/absurd quotes, and this fits the 'unintentionally comedic' by way of dark absurdity if it were true.
