Top rated lines from this movie

Any man can give love where he's sure it's returned. That isn't love at all. But to give love with no thought of merit, no thought of return, no thought of gratitude even, that's ordinarily the privilege of God. And now it's your privilege.

We may have to convince him with lead instead of silver.

What on earth do you want to go there for? That's an inferno. -That's why I must go.

You've already got a Great Wall around you that isn't built of mud and stones. It's made of ridiculous pride and inhuman cruelty.

I want you to see the beauty of giving love where it isn't merited.
