Top rated lines from this movie

Six months? Has it been that long? Seems like a single summer's evening.
What do the living know about grief? Only we who are dead know what it means.
You witch! While I slept you turned a band of heroes into swine. -It was much easier to do than you think.
Headstrong mortal, proud of that short dream which you call a lifetime, enamored of your weaknesses and your miserable sins, and fascinated by death.
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!
