When the daylight starts to fade slowly in the sky, and the night and the stars spread their curtain of silence, and my torment and my sorrow increase 1000 fold, sometimes it seems I can bear it no longer.

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.
