The 13th Warrior  - Quotes

 
[Herger kills one of the Prince's henchmen in a sham duel]
Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan:
You, you could have killed him at will.
Herger the Joyous:
Yes?
Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan:
Well, why the deception?
Herger the Joyous:
Deception is the point! Any fool can calculate strength. That one has been doing it since we arrived. Now he has to calculate what he can't see.
Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan:
And fear... what he doesn't know.
Buliwyf:
As you say, foolish. And expensive. We will miss Angus tonight, we will miss his sword.

Frost/Nixon  - Quotes

 James Reston, Jr.:
You know the first and greatest sin of the deception of television is that it simplifies; it diminishes great, complex ideas, stretches of time; whole careers become reduced to a single snapshot. At first I couldn't understand why Bob Zelnick was quite as euphoric as he was after the interviews, or why John Birt felt moved to strip naked and rush into the ocean to celebrate. But that was before I really understood the reductive power of the close-up, because David had succeeded on that final day, in getting for a fleeting moment what no investigative journalist, no state prosecutor, no judiciary committee or political enemy had managed to get; Richard Nixon's face swollen and ravaged by loneliness, self-loathing and defeat. The rest of the project and its failings would not only be forgotten, they would totally cease to exist.

M. Butterfly  - Quotes

 Comrade Chin:
Don't you understand how degrading those images are to women? And why do you have to behave this way when he is not even here?
Song Liling:
Comrade, in order to better serve the Great Proletarian State, I practice my deception as often as possible. I despise this costume, yet for the sake of our Great Helmsman, I will endure it, along with all the other bourgeois Western perversions.
Comrade Chin:
I'm not convinced that this will be enough to redeem you in the eyes of the Party.
Song Liling:
I'm trying my best to become somebody else.
