“Remember that the threads of your ambition must be anchored in the real world. We know from “The Discourses,” a ruler must be both a lion and a fox, relying on both strength and cunning to navigate the treacherous terrain of power. Be prepared to adapt your strategies as circumstances dictate, and never shy away from employing deception or ruthlessness when they serve your cause.”

“Our task, is not to fear the distracting world, but to learn to thrive within it, to become the eye of the storm, calm amidst chaos. To be like the oak that stands tall against the howling winds, not because it is immune to the storm, but because it has learned to weather it. Such is the power of an unyielding focus in a world beset by distractions.”

“Anaïs, I don't know how to tell you what I feel. I live in perpetual expectancy. You come and the time slips away in a dream. It is only when you go that I realize completely your presence. And then it is too late. You numb me. [...] This is a little drunken, Anaïs. I am saying to myself "here is the first woman with whom I can be absolutely sincere." I remember your saying - "you could fool me, I wouldn't know it." When I walk along the boulevards and think of that. I can't fool you - and yet I would like to. I mean that I can never be absolutely loyal - it's not in me. I love women, or life, too much - which it is, I don't know. But laugh, Anaïs, I love to hear you laugh. You are the only woman who has a sense of gaiety, a wise tolerance - no more, you seem to urge me to betray you. I love you for that. [...] I don't know what to expect of you, but it is something in the way of a miracle. I am going to demand everything of you - even the impossible, because you encourage it. You are really strong. I even like your deceit, your treachery. It seems aristocratic to me.”

“It is in the long hours of silence, pain and agony that wonders are born. A mother in the labor room doesn't think about the pain. Her strength to push is inspired by the beauty of the miracle that is to come! It's after the darkest of night, on the backs of the moments that bring us to our knees, that the strength of our souls is born and our hopes renewed! Don't give up, PUSH!”
