Quote context

[...]

- Come now. Come with me.

- Ulysses. What are you doing, Ulysses? Do you really think you can leave me?

- I left you a long time ago. The day my men died in a storm.

- And do you think your journey will last any longer than theirs?

- You will not hold me here.

- Listen to me. I shall give you something that will make you forget all your petty dreams, your miserable kingdom, your wife who grows old.

- Remain, and this very night Olympus shall welcome a new god: Ulysses.

- 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.

Top rated lines from this movie

What do the living know about grief? Only we who are dead know what it means.

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.

You witch! While I slept you turned a band of heroes into swine. -It was much easier to do than you think.

Fear is making you forget your empty stomach.

Headstrong mortal, proud of that short dream which you call a lifetime, enamored of your weaknesses and your miserable sins, and fascinated by death.
