Movie quotes

  • (..) I was there too. Do you play? Yes, a little bit. Do you wanna play something? If only to entertain you. The guilt was evident. It's superior to man, to his particular interests... It's the country. Nothing is superior to man. The man... The man with his ugliness and his beauty. (..)
