Quotes 

• King Henry VIII : [Speaking to Jane, who is near death]  Don't go! Please, don't go! Just because you have given me everything you promised, please don't leave me! You are the milk of human kindness, the light in my dark, dark world. Without you life is a desert, a howling wilderness...

  [Looking upward] 

  King Henry VIII : Please, God, in your mercy, don't take her away from me. My son needs his mother, and I need my queen!

  [He sobs] 

• King Henry VIII : [Looking at a ship's model with Cromwell]  Every year the Doge of Venice travels out in this ship into the lagoon in order to renew his marriage vows with the sea. Marriage with the sea!

  [laughs] 

  King Henry VIII : What prince does not want to have such an elemental mistress!
