The Renaissance is not so much a period of history as the repository of the myths we have created about western civilization.
Roger Osborne, Civilization
Am I politic, am I subtle, am I a Machiavel?
William Shakespeare, The Merry Wives of Windsor
In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love; they had five hundred years of democracy and peaceand what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.
