― 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.'

“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.”

“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.”

― Adrienne Wilder, quote from Complementary Colors

“During these years of loss and sorrow, I have had to reconcile myself to the truth about my father, Osama bin Laden. I know now that since the first day of the first battle against the Soviets in Afghanistan, my father has been killing other humans. He admitted as much to me, back in those days when I was his tea boy in Afghanistan. I often wonder if my father has killed so many times that the act of killing no longer brings him pleasure or pain. I am nothing like my father. While he prays for war, I pray for peace. And now we go our separate ways, each believing that we are right.”
― quote from Growing Up bin Laden: Osama's Wife and Son Take Us Inside Their Secret World

“I mistrust mountebanks—especially of the female variety.”
