Quote of the Week: Thursday, February 22

"In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed-but 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 Weeles as Harry Lime in The Third Man
