Character: Charles VIII

- That's not what we expected.
- Has the Pope disappointed you, Your Majesty? Did you expect to see gold and silver robes? In external brilliance there is a meaning, but hearts should be ruled by simplicity. We are all naked before the Lord. Even the Pope. Even the King of France.

Be careful in pleas if you pray for war – you may find yourself in a place where prayers are not heard.

There are no just wars - war is chaos. Brute force against brute force until the complete destruction of one of the parties. <... > There is no honor in war. The French understood this by fighting against the British. There is blood, death, armor against armor until one side surrenders due to death or superiority of forces.
