Quotes 

• Cesare Borgia : Where ever I am, two elements are always struggling within me. Beast versus Archangel. More often than not, the beast wins.

  Alessandro Farnese : A beast has no soul. You do.

  Cesare Borgia : My soul is empty.

  Cesare Borgia : Alessandro, I have a confession to make.

  Alessandro Farnese : To me? Have you forgotten, unlike you I am not yet a priest.

  Cesare Borgia : No but you're a drunkard and therefore keep my confidence.

  Alessandro Farnese : More likely I will simply forget, so speak freely.

  Cesare Borgia : I'm consumed by the fever of envy. My brother, our friend the Medici, their lives are in motion. Mine is a stagnant.

• Alessandro Farnese : What does Professor Decio teach? Unlike lust but much like gluttony, envy becomes a sin only if you act upon the impulse.

  Cesare Borgia : But how can I not be envious? Juan will achieve greatness in this life?

  Alessandro Farnese : So will you. By a different route. Cesare, contemplate the other side of your instincts.
