“In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love; they had five hundred years of democracy and peace - and what did they produce? ...the cuckoo clock!”
~ Orson Welles as 'Harry Lime' in 'The Third Man' (1949)
