What the Borgias Gave Us
"In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed -- they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance.
In Switzerland they had brotherly love, 500 years of democracy and peace and what did that produce...? The cuckoo clock."
-- Orson Welles
