Quote of the Week: No Pain, No Gain


   
Michelangelo Sistene Chapel "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 five hundred years of democracy and peace – and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock."

 

                            From the movie "The Third Man" (1949)

        Written by Graham Greene, directed by Carol Reed
