Movie quotes

  • (..) This is where the pagan died. Then it is a sacred place. How dare you say such things? - Are you mad? - I may be. But since I love some of you, I urge you again to take heed of my warning. The sons of Ragnar are sure to come! As for you, sweet sister, I counsel you, have a care for your own soul. (..)
