“Though they love people, the Christians are enemies of our life, our gods and our crimes; hence she fled from me, as from a man who belongs to our [Roman] society, and with whom she would have to share a life counted criminal by Christians...I should not have stopped her from believing in her Christ, and would myself have reared an altar to Him in the atrium. What harm could one more god do me? Why might I not believe in Him, - I who do not believe over much in the old gods? ...It would not be difficult for me even to renounce other gods, for no reasoning mind believes in them at present. But it seems that all this is not enough yet for the Christians. It is not enough to honor Christ, one must also live according to His teachings; and here thou art on the shore of a sea which they command thee to wade through. Quo Vadis”

“...гореше миналото и душата на Рим, а той, цезарят, стоеше с лютня в ръката, с изражение на трагически актьор и с мисъл не за загиващия роден град, а за позата и за патетичните думи, чрез които би могъл най-добре да предаде огромността на бедствието, да предизвика колкото може по-голямо възхищение и да спечели горещи аплодисменти.”

“And through the years I notice Subtle changes all around me. The people come and go like the ebb and flow of the tides. Those who remain seem physically changed. Their skin becomes pale and sallow, almost transparent. Their hairline recedes and begins to thin, their jaw slackens as their bellies spread From the endless sitting in chairs for meetings about subjects that five years from now will only be a distant memory.”
