| Spoil, glory, flags and trumpets! What is behind these high-sounding words? Death and destruction, triumphals of crippled men, Sweden victorious in a ravaged Europe, an island in a dead sea. I tell you, I want no more of it. I want for my people security and happiness. I want to cultivate the arts of peace, the arts of life. I want peace and peace I will have! (Garbo as Queen Christina, calling for an end to the Thirty Years' War) |

| I have been a symbol of eternal changelessness, an abstraction. A human being is mortal and changeable, with desires and impurities, hopes and despairs. I'm tired of being a symbol, chancellor. I long to be a human being. It's a longing I cannot suppress. |
