I, Claudius

Antonia: (when Agrippina accuses Tiberius of having Germanicus poisoned) But don't ask me to believe that an Emperor of Rome would stoop to such methods! Agrippina: Ah, those are his methods. He doesn't need to stoop.

{About the Roman Crowd} Tiberius: Has it ever occured to you, mother, that it's you they hate and not me? Livia: There is nothing in this world that occurs to you that does not occur to me first. That is the afflication I live with.
