UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTER QUOTES

  • "The cardinal stands between us and everything. It is now in your power to do him a great hurt and we expect you to do so."

  • "Do you miss the court Your Grace? Perhaps you don't. Down here in this green space, you have so much leisure to enjoy, so many idle pursuits. Yet, I have heard it said by some that the King's presence is like the sun, and when you're away from it, there is only eternal night."
