In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had 500 years of democracy and peace and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock.
- Orson Welles (1915 - 1985)
Note: The Borgias or Borjas were a Spanish-Italian noble family who became prominent during the Renaissance period and are remembered for their corrupt rule when one of them was Pope.
