Movie quotes

  • (..) there's nothing serious in mortality. All is but toys. Renown and grace is dead. The wine of life is drawn and the mere lees is left this vault to brag of. Live you? Or are you aught that man may question? I have done the deed. Why did you bring these daggers from the place? (..)
