- Yes, that's true.
- A dry, dusty fragrance, like a garden of dead flowers.

- Here. Pass this around.

- There's no wind, but we have a swift current.

- Makes you happy, doesn't it?

- Yes. Doesn't it please you too?

- I don't know.

- There's a part of me that loves the familiar, the end of the journey, the harbor, the cooking fires at home. There's always the other part. That part loves the voyage, the open sea, storms, strange shapes of uncharted islands, demons, giants.

Top rated lines from this movie

Six months? Has it been that long? Seems like a single summer's evening.

You witch! While I slept you turned a band of heroes into swine. -It was much easier to do than you think.

Quick, get some wax and stop up the ears of all the men. Tell them not to look to the right nor to the left but to row. Row for their lives. It's the only thing that will save them. Hurry!

I no longer see myself falling in battle, or in the fury of a storm. It will take much less. A puff of cool air, a sudden chill one night.

There's a part of me that loves the familiar, the end of the journey, the harbor, the cooking fires at home. There's always the other part. That part loves the voyage, the open sea, storms, strange shapes of uncharted islands, demons, giants.
