Quote context

[...]

- This is my gift. The greatest gift that had ever been offered to a man.

- No, there are greater gifts: to be born and to die, and in between to live like a man.

- To live like a man, filled with petty fears?

- Only the fearful can know the value of courage.

- And old age? That poor flesh will rot one day. And at the end, nothing but death. This is the terrible heritage of man.

- I accept that inheritance.

- 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.

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

- If it should be that one day men shall speak of me, I hope they say with pride that I was one of them.

- Their pride will not serve to warm you in the kingdom of darkness.

- I offer you centuries of light.

- I do not think it will sadden me too much to close my eyes when the time comes.

- Then let the dead tell you how very happy they are.

- Agamemnon, Ajax, Achilles... all my dead comrades.

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!
