Oxenstierna
- Christina: This war is expensive.
- Magnus: The parliament clamors for more war.
- Oxenstierna: They clamor for a Swedish marriage for your majesty. They clamor for an heir of Swedish blood!
- Christina: In short, Chancellor, they clamor.
- Oxenstierna: The sword has made Sweden great, your majesty!
- Christina: Yes, but do we not exult it too much, Chancellor?
- Oxenstierna: You cannot remake the world, your majesty.
- Christina: Why not? Look, Chancellor, the philosophers remake it. The artists remake it. The scientists remake it. Now, why not we - we the power? The people follow blindly, the generals lead them to destruction. Will they not follow us? We'll lead them beyond themselves - where there is grace and beauty and gaiety and freedom!
- Oxenstierna: Europe is an armed camp, your majesty. Not a Utopia peopled with shepherds.
