Diarmuid Noyes: Alessandro Farnese

Quotes 

• Alessandro Farnese : If a person ceased to feel guilt, he would no longer be a person. When we accept our sins, responsibility for our actions, that is when we approach the Divine.

  Cesare Borgia : Are your words worth the air they fill?

• Filippo Decio : Tonight, you are to take the first step on your path to the priesthood. Tonsure. His Excellency, the Bishop, will cut the hair on the top of your head, symbolizing your obedience to God. Spend the rest of the day reflecting on your worthiness.

  Alessandro Farnese : [as they exit]  Are you worthy, Cesare?

  Cesare Borgia : Are any of us?

• Francesco Remolino d'Ilerda : [about Cesare]  He has done the unspeakable.

  Alessandro Farnese : He is our friend. And we've both, in our short lives, committed our share of misguided acts.

  Francesco Remolino d'Ilerda : But we did so knowing they were wrong. He believes he has done good.
