Leon Uris  - Quotes

 Today a great shot for freedom was heard. I think it stands a chance of being heard forever. It marls a turning point in the history of the Jewish people. The beginning of the return to a statues of dignity we have not known for two thousand years. Yes, today was the first step back. My battle is done. Now I turn the command over to the soldiers.

Braveheart  - Quotes

 William Wallace:
And if this is your army, why does it go?
Veteran:
We didn't come here to fight for them!
Young Soldier:
Home! The English are too many!
William Wallace:
Sons of Scotland! I am William Wallace.
Young Soldier:
William Wallace is seven feet tall!
William Wallace:
Yes, I've heard. Kills men by the hundreds. And if HE were here, he'd consume the English with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse. [Scottish army laughs]
William Wallace:
I *am* William Wallace! And I see a whole army of my countrymen, here in defiance of tyranny. You've come to fight as free men... and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you fight?
Veteran:
Fight? Against that? No! We will run. And we will live.
William Wallace:
Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM! [Scottish army cheers]
William Wallace:
Alba gu bràth! ["Scotland forever!"]
Army:
ALBA GU BRÀTH! ALBA GU BRÀTH! ALBA GU BRÀTH!

Leon Uris  - Quotes

 Who is left in the ghetto is the one man in a thousand in any age, in any culture, who through some mysterious workings of force within his soul will stand in defiance against any master. He is that one human in a thousand whose indomitable spirit will not bow. He is the one man in a thousand whose indomitable spirit cannot bow. He is the one man in a thousand who will not walk quietly to Umschlagplatz. Watch out for him, Alfred Funk, we have pushed him to the wall.
