Quote context

[...]

- Arise, Paris, and go.

- The virgin Cassandra does make one point that causes me much concern.

- Prince Paris, it appears, gives all his worship to one goddess alone. Aphrodite.

- I'm not sure I worship anything. No. Admiration is the better word. Admiration for the beauty of a marble image.

- It was not the goddess of beauty who taught us to arm against our enemies, but Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and the patroness of the horses of war.

- Athena does not rejoice in this... This solitary adoration of yours. Neither is she delighted that you undertake a mission of peace.

- And I suppose that evil horse of hers will spring out and trample me. Very well. Let it come, my lord, if that's the price of living in a world of fables.

- Do not say that, Paris. Do not seek peace elsewhere, dear brother, until first you have pacified Athena.

- My little Cassandra, there can be no postponement. So come along and give me your blessing for a happy voyage.

- I cannot bless what I see in your future, Paris.

- Cassandra! Cassandra, stop this.

Top rated lines from this movie

Beware the Greeks bearing gifts.
The goddess of beauty, Aphrodite, come down to Earth in mortal form. She will bring the disaster I have prophesied. Her name will be written in letters of fire. Helen. Helen of Troy.
I used to number the months by a battle, a pestilence, a famine. Now it's all one long nightmare.
I wonder what the women look like. -My profound Cousin Aeneas. -To think deeply, Paris, one must think of women. They bring all life into the world and much death. They sway the destinies of men. -Not my destiny.
Father, please hear me. It is not the end of ruin, but the beginning.
