― Robert Harris, Conclave

“For it is not what happens to me that makes me great, but it is what I do.”

“A King may move a man, a father may claim a son, but remember that even when those who move you be Kings, or men of power, your soul is in your keeping alone.

― King Baldwin IV in Kingdom of Heaven
