Emperor Tiberius: “Has it ever occurred to you, mother, that it’s you they hate and not me?” Livia: “There is nothing in this world that occurs to you that has not occurred to me first. That is the affliction I live with.” Sejanus: “If he’s profoundly loved, he’s also profoundly dead. No harm in loving the dead. Everyone’s loved when he’s dead.” Livia: “I wouldn’t count on that if I were you." -I, Claudius
