Quote context

[...]

- If you really knew my husband, tell me about him.

- Why don't you speak? Who are you?

- I'm a friend of Ulysses. We were comrades before the walls of Troy.

- Many a night as we waited between battles our thoughts full of sadness he spoke of you.

- And what did he say?

- Dark, she is, and beautiful in her youth, he said. And full of soft woman's laughter.

- And such a way she has of brushing her hair absently when she works at her spinning wheel, or watches her sleeping child.

- Sometimes he spoke of this infant son Telemachus who sucked his thumb and smiled and slept on the day the swift ships sailed to Troy.

- Sometimes he spoke of the day of his farewell, how he held you in his arms on the beach by the waiting ships. And you whispered, I shall be here when you return.

- Will you return?

- Very often, with falling stars above our heads, and the doomed walls of Troy across the plain, and all we loved far away across the sea...

- He spoke of this house, and of this very room where you'd be waiting for him.

- For too many years I have waited.

Top rated lines from this movie

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.

But even so, this vulnerable mass of fears has dared to battle with a god, and has not yet been defeated.

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.
