"They were outsiders, they were foreigners, and they came with a devotion and a commitment to prove their right, to prove their strength and their audacity. So, there is little they won't do to get ahead. They will sleep their way to the top. They will kill their way to the top. They will, quite frankly, burn the Vatican to the ground in order to succeed." — DAVID OAKES

the thing about being "good with kids" is all it takes is literally just not trying to control and mould them with every interaction. it's just being a normal person and engaging with them through normal interactions like having conversations and playing games. it's just being genuine and friendly and not perceiving them as lumps of wet clay you are there to shape. "oh you're so good with kids" thanks it's because I think they are people

Book that was good: I liked it 👍

Book that was bad: this sucked 👎

Book that I wanted to like but which failed to live up to my hopes: I am going to write 10,000+ words explaining exactly why this book wronged me

[Louis XVI] spoke to his august consort in an infinitely cordial and tender manner, saying among other things that he loved her with all his heart and that he could swear to her he had never had the least feeling or sentiment for any woman, but for her alone.

–Ambassador Mercy to Maria Theresa, 17 June 1779 [translation: Nesta Webster]
