„He who allows me to rule is in fact my master.“
— Pierre Corneille
Context: He has served me too well;
By increasing my power he has stolen it away:
He is now my subject only so long as he pleases.
He who allows me to rule is in fact my master.
Prusias, act II, scene i.
„Each instant of life is a step toward death.“

Tite, act V, scene i.
„Your Christians, whom one persecutes in vain,
Have something in them that surpasses the human.
They lead a life of such innocence,
That the heavens owe them some recognition:
That they arise the stronger the more they are beaten down
Is hardly the result of common virtues.“
— Pierre Corneille
Sévère, act V, scene vi.
