Quotes about
[edit]- He His name was Theodosius, and he is called the Great, I suppose because he was great at destroying the old temples and old statues of the gods and goddesses. Not only was he strongly opposed to those who were not Christians: he was equally aggressive towards Christians who were not Orthodox in his way of thinking. He did not tolerate any opinion or religion that he did not approve of.

- Theodosius didn't know almost anyone from our environment because he comes from Spain, a country that doesn't shine with excessive culture. Furthermore, he belongs to a military family and it does not appear that he has ever studied philosophy. Outside of politics, what interests him most is raising sheep.
