Quote context

[...]

- That Santa Claus be allowed to continue his yearly rides, his good work.

- But that would mean only one thing.

- Yes. To bestow upon Santa Claus the Mantle of Immortality.

- How shall I begin this story of the life and adventures of Santa Claus?

- At the beginning, Master Woodsman.

- Yes, the beginning.

- We live so happily here, in the forest, that we know nothing of the sorrow and misery that falls to the lot of those poor mortals who inhabit the open spaces of the Earth.

- It was a short 60 years or so ago... An instant in immortal time... That I came upon the babe abandoned in the snowy woods at the very edge of the forest.

- I left the child with the Lioness Shiegra. I ordered her to lie close to the babe and to give it her milk and to send word throughout the forest that the child should not be harmed. Otherwise, he would have been Shiegra's evening meal.

- What is a child?

- You were always as you are now, Necile, as immortals will always be.

- And you know nothing of children' because there are none among us.

- And there will never be. It is so decreed by our laws.

- Born in our present state, never were babies.

- We live where no mortal has been, with a nobility of none humanity.

- We have no children or kin. (2)

Top rated lines from this movie

A child of man. A baby.

A child, maybe that's what I've been missing all these years.

Babe in the woods, thinks the world's all fun and laughter, doesn't know what's coming after. After all, he's just a babe in the woods.

I left the child with the Lioness Shiegra. I ordered her to lie close to the babe and to give it her milk and to send word throughout the forest that the child should not be harmed. Otherwise, he would have been Shiegra's evening meal.

So, these are mortals? Do they all act this way towards one another? It seems so cruel compared to our world.
