Top rated lines from this movie

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!

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.
Even solitude, as Aesculapius tells us, can be an excellent medicine. An excellent medicine.
