• [about Augustus] 

  Tiberius : Are you drinking because he nearly died or because he didn't?

  Livia : Sarcastic aren't we this morning?

• [On seeing your ex-spouse in secret] 

  Livia : You saw Julia's mother after your divorce.

  Augustus : Yes, but not in secret.

  Livia : Well I don't remember being present...

• [Of the senate] 

  Livia : They won't allow me in because I am a woman, and they won't allow you in because you're a fool. That's strange, when you come to think of it, because it's filled with nothing but old women and fools.

• [on Claudius] 

  Livia : That child should have been exposed at birth.

• Livia : [to the Young Caligula]  Only the Cleverest young boys can play The Death Game!
