Loretta YoungQuotes

Alice, Princess of France: [after being told she must vacate her cabin on the ship for another royal lady] I am Alice of France, betrothed to King Richard. Who are you?

Berengaria, Princess of Navarre: I'm his wife.

Berengaria, Princess of Navarre: [Resisting Richard pulling her into her father's room] Let go of my wrist! You're hurting it.

Richard, King of England: Well, stop pulling then.

Berengaria, Princess of Navarre: We've been blind. We were proud dearest when we took the cross in our pride, we fought to conquer Jerusalem. We tried to ride through blood to the Holy Place of God. And now... now we suffer.

Saladin, Sultan of Islam: The Holy City of Allah.

Berengaria, Princess of Navarre: What if we call him Allah or God? Shall men fight because they travel different roads to him? There is only one God.

Mary Longstreet: I came to kill you.

Professor Charles Rankin: No, no, Mary, it's you that's going to die. You were meant to fall through that ladder.

Mary Longstreet: You're going to fall. I don't mind if I take you with me.

Professor Charles Rankin: You are a fool. They've searched the woods. I watched them. Here, like God, looking at little ants. I'll hide in the woods. They won't search there again. In a day or two, they'll be sure I got out of town.

Mary Longstreet: When they find me, they'll know you're still here.

Professor Charles Rankin: But, darling, you're on the verge of a breakdown. Now you've cracked. Why else would you leave your bed, climb to an empty church tower in the dead of night? Any child could see you'd wind up killing yourself. Killing is what led you here. It won't help you now.

Mary Longstreet: Did you kill Noah?

Professor Charles Rankin: Yes, if he goes to the church and climbs up that ladder!

Mary Longstreet: It was I you intended to kill, wasn't it?

Professor Charles Rankin: No.

Mary Longstreet: [hands Charles a gun] Why wasn't it I? Franz Kindler! Kill me. Kill me, I want you to. I couldn't face life knowing what I've been to you and what I've done to Noah. But when you kill me, don't put your hands on me! Here!

Mary Longstreet: Why do you want me to look at these horrors?

Mr. Wilson: All this you're seeing, it's all the product of one mind. The mind of a man named Franz Kindler. Franz Kindler. Yes, he was the most brilliant of the younger minds from the Nazi party. It was Kindler who conceived the theory of genocide, mass depopulation of conquered countries. So that regardless of who won the war, Germany would emerge the strongest nation in Western Europe, biologically speaking.

Mary Longstreet: Mr. Wilson, I've never... I've never so much as even seen a Nazi.

Mr. Wilson: Well, you might without your realizing it. They look like other people and act like other people - when it's to their benefit.

Mary Longstreet: Why are you packing? Are we going somewhere?

Professor Charles Rankin: We aren't, dearest. I am.

Mary Longstreet: What are you talking about?

Professor Charles Rankin: As a rule, men leave their wives because they don't love them, but...I must leave you because I do. Oh, you won't object once you know the kind of man you've married.

Mary Longstreet: But you are the man I've married, and that's all that matters. Darling, I meant it when I said for better or for worse. Even to...

Professor Charles Rankin: To killing Red?

Mary Longstreet: You couldn't have. It was an accident.

Professor Charles Rankin: No, I meant to kill him. Murder can be a chain, Mary, one link leading to another until it circles your neck. Red was digging at the grave of the man I killed. Yes, your little man.

Mary Longstreet: You killed him?

Professor Charles Rankin: With these hands. The same hands that have held you close to me. Now are you satisfied to let me go?

Mr. Wilson: Do you know Germany, Mr. Rankin?

Professor Charles Rankin: I'm sorry, I...I have a way of making enemies when I'm on that subject. I get pretty unpopular.

Mr. Wilson: Well, we shall consider it the objective opinion of an objective historian.

Professor Charles Rankin: [[w:Richard Wagner|Wagnerian; [w:Gram (mythology)|sword of Siegfried; [w:Teutonic Knights|Teutonic Knights; [w:Frederick I, Holy Roman Emperor|Barbarossa; [Adolph Hitler|Hitler] Historian? A psychiatrist could explain it better. The German sees himself as the innocent victim of world envy and hatred, conspired against, set upon by inferior peoples, inferior nations. He cannot admit to error, much less to wrongdoing, not the German. We chose to ignore Ethiopia and Spain, but we learned from our own casualty list the price of looking the other way. Men of truth everywhere have come to know for whom the bell tolled, but not the German. No! He still follows his warrior gods marching to ] strains, his eyes still fixed upon the fiery ]. And in those subterranean meeting places that you don't believe in, the German's dream world comes alive when he takes his place in shining armor beneath the banners of the ]. Mankind is waiting for the Messiah, but for the German, the Messiah is not the Prince of Peace. No, he's... another ]... another ].

Mr. Wilson: Well, then you have no faith in the reforms that are being effected in Germany.

Professor Charles Rankin: I don't know, Mr. Wilson. I can't believe that people can be reformed except from within. The basic principles of equality and freedom never have and never will take root in Germany. The will to freedom has been voiced in every other tongue. "All men are created equal", liberte, egalite, fraternite - but in German...

Noah Longstreet: [[Karl Marx|Marx] There's ]. "Proletarians, unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains.

Professor Charles Rankin: But Marx wasn't a German, Marx was a Jew.

Judge Longstreet: But, my dear Charles, if we concede your argument, there is no solution.

Professor Charles Rankin: Well, sir, once again, I differ.

Judge Longstreet: Well, what is it, then?

Professor Charles Rankin: Annihilation. Down to the last babe in arms.

Mary Longstreet: [[w:Carthaginian peace|Carthaginian peace] Oh, Charles, I can't imagine you're advocating a ].

Professor Charles Rankin: [[w:Ancient Carthage|Carthage] Well, as an historian, I must remind you that the world hasn't had much trouble from ] in the past 2,000 years.

Mary Longstreet: [about Prof. Charles Rankin] Hello, father. Has anybody seen my brand new husband?

Judge Longstreet: Don't tell me he's deserted you already.

Mary Longstreet: Yes, it looks as if, the brute.

Mary Longstreet: [Picks up a fireplace poker] Why wasn't it I... Franz Kindler? Kill me. Kill me, I want you to. I couldn't face life knowing what I've been to you and what I've done to Noah. But when you kill me, don't put your hands on me! Here! Use this!
