Movie quotes

  • (..) Thus, when the Vikings set forth to rob and plunder England... they never sailed out of sight of land. They confined their attacks to swift, overnight raids. It was no accident that the English "Book of Prayer"... contained this sentence... "Protect us, Oh Lord, from the wrath of the Northmen." (..)
