“Listen, do you really expect me to believe that God lives beneath the Vatican?- Ezio Auditore”
― Oliver Bowden, quote from Assassin's Creed: Renaissance

“It is a good life we lead, brother,' said Federico with uncharacteristic solemnity.

'The best,' Ezio agreed.'And may it never change.'

They both paused - neither wishing to break the perfection of the moment - but after a while Federico quietly spoke.'May it never change us either, fratellino.”

“Seré tu guía, Ezio. Pero antes debes aprender a abrir tu mente, y a recordar siempre lo siguiente: nada es verdad. Todo está permitido.”
― Oliver Bowden, quote from Assassin's Creed: Renaissance

“The crowd began to murmur, but then a firm voice stilled it. Giovanni Auditore was speaking.'It is you who is the traitor, Uberto. You, one of my closest associates and friends, in whom I entrusted my life! And I am a fool. I did not see that you are one of them!' Here he raised his voice to a great cry of anguish and of rage.'You may take our lives today, but mark this - we will have yours in return!'

-Giovanni Auditore,
Before his execution”
― Oliver Bowden, quote from Assassin's Creed: Renaissance

“Over time, and sentence uttered long and loud enough becomes fixed. Becomes a truth. Provided, of course, you can outlast the dissent and silence your opponents. But should you succeed - and remove all challengers - then what remains is, by default, now true.

Is it truth in some objective sense? No. But how does one ever achieve an objective point of view? The answer is you don't. It is literally, physically impossible. There are too many variables. Too many fields and formulae to consider. We can try, of course. We can inch closer and closer to a revelation. But we'll never reach it. Not ever . . .

And so I have realized, that so long as The Templar exist, they will attempt to bend reality to their will. They recognize there is no such thing as an absolutely truth - or if there is - we are hopelessly underequipped to recognize it. And so in its place, they seek to create their own explanation.
It is the guiding principle of their so-named "New World Order"; To reshape existence in their own image. It is not about artifacts. Not about men. These are merely tools. It's about concepts. Clever of them. For how does one wage war against a concept?

It is the perfect weapon. It lacks a physical form yet can alter the world around us in numerous, often violent ways. You cannot kill a creed. Even if you kill all of its adherents, destroy all of its writings - these are a reprieve at best. Some one, some day, will rediscover it. Reinvent it. I believe that even we, the Assassins, have simple re-discovered an Order that predates the Old Man himself . . .”
― Oliver Bowden, quote from Assassin's Creed: Renaissance

“I have sworn to be done with it. To not gaze into its core. but faced as I am with the prospect of my end, what harm is there I one last look . .”
― Oliver Bowden, quote from Assassin's Creed: Renaissance

“You take what you can get and hold on tight to it- by any means necessary. After all you only live once.”
― Oliver Bowden, quote from Assassin's Creed: Renaissance

“Why should some poor animal die just because it tastes good to us?”
― Oliver Bowden, quote from Assassin's Creed: Renaissance

“The Templars lost their Christianity when they discovered banking,”
― Oliver Bowden, quote from Assassin's Creed: Renaissance

“While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die. – Leonardo da Vinci”

“You'll forgive me if I've grown tired of waiting for humanity to wake up.”
― Oliver Bowden, quote from Assassin's Creed: Renaissance

“Once there, he was met by Rosa, who greeted him with a lingering kiss. “Put your dagger back in its sheath,” she smiled as their bodies pressed together. “You’re the one who made me draw it. And you’re the one,” he added knowingly, “with its sheath.” She took his hand. “Come on, then.”
― Oliver Bowden, quote from Assassin's Creed: Renaissance

“From now, his life was forged for one purpose and one purpose alone- revenge.”
― Oliver Bowden, quote from Assassin's Creed: Renaissance

“most men are so afraid of beautiful girls that anyone who actually plucks up the courage to have a chat stands at an immediate advantage”
― Oliver Bowden, quote from Assassin's Creed: Renaissance

“Sandry: "There has to be something we can do."
Lark: "We're mages. We do what we can, but some problems are too big to fix."

“There is one purpose to life and one only: to bear witness to and understand as much as possible of the complexity of the world-its beauty, its mysteries, its riddles. The more you understand, the more you look, the greater is your enjoyment of life and your sense of peace. That's all there is to it. Everything else is fun and games. If an activity is not grounded in "to love" or "to learn," it does not have value. - Zurvan”
― Anne Rice, quote from Servant of the Bones

“Before I took to the road, a friend tried to get me to go to a department store with him. He said it was to improve the place where I lived. He said," I want to know you are reading beneath this lamp. " This fellow was dying. He knew it and I did not. I think he was tucking me in. He was making sure all of his friends had the right lamps, the comfiest pillows, the softest sheets. He was tucking us all in for the night.”
― Amy Hempel, quote from The Collected Stories

“Power. Intoxicating. Like a fine wine.”
― Cornelia Funke, quote from Reckless

“At the very least, I hope it means I will get my Briony back again. I know, I'll hold a party for her--and take her on a pony ride--I think that will be quite in order, if I can be spared from my official duties for the afternoon."

"You're the King," Taris reminded him with a smile.

"But you're my conscience, Taris, you know that."

"Then your conscience says we should keep his highness's current location secret, but an announcement of his escape is most desirable. Therefore, a party is quite in order--if not essential--for the morale of the nation."

"Excellent. I really should promote you, old friend. Only trouble is, there's nowhere to go but down from your office."

"I am well aware of that, Your Majesty.”
― Julia Golding, quote from Dragonfly
