Movie quotes

  • (..) You're as foolish as Leonidas if you think men don't have a price in this world. All men are not created equal. That's the Spartan code, my little queen. I admire your passion. But don't think that you... ...a woman, even a queen... ...can walk into the council chamber and sway the minds of men. (..)
