Altamirano “No, Senor Hontar. Thus have we made the world… thus have i made it.”

2. Gabriel “If might is right, then love has no place in the world, it may be so. But I dont have the strength to live in a world like that, Rodrigo.”

3. Altamirano “So, your Holiness, now your priests are dead, and I am left alive. But in truth it is I who am dead, and they who live. For as always, your Holiness, the spirit of the dead will survive in the memory of the living.”
