Belize: Real love isn't ambivalent. I'd swear that's a line from my favorite best-selling paperback novel, "In Love with the Night Mysterious", except I don't think you've ever read it. Well, you ought to, instead of spending the rest of your life, trying to get through "Democracy in America." It's about this white woman whose daddy owns a plantation in the Deep South, in the years before the Civil War. And her name is Margaret, and she's in love with her daddy's number-one slave, and his name is Thaddeus. And she's married, but her white slave-owner husband has AIDS: Antebellum Insufficiently-Developed Sex-organs. And so, there's a lot of hot stuff going down, when Margaret and Thaddeus can catch a spare torrid ten under the cotton-picking moon. And then of course the Yankees come, and they set the slaves free. And the slaves string up old daddy and so on, historical fiction. Somewhere in there I recall, Margaret and Thaddeus find the time to discuss the nature of love. Her face is reflecting the flames of the burning plantation, you know the way white people do, and his black face is dark in the night and she says to him, "Thaddeus, real love isn't ever ambivalent."
[Brutus is reading] Caesar: Let me see... Plato's laws? Do you read this? Marcus Brutus: Yes. Caesar: And, what did you think of it? Marcus Brutus: Well Plato thinks that democracy is doomed to failure; he thinks that a state should be run by a dictator, a dictator who's become enlightened through experience and learning. Caesar: I don't think that your Plato would get on with your Uncle Cato.
Queen Jamillia: We have to keep out faith in the Republic. The day we stop believing democracy can work is the day we lose it. Padme: Let's pray that day never comes.
Don Cheadle: [on the genocide in Darfur] I think that our government has to take some responsibility, too, in the fact that, right now, one of the main impediments to the process is the international criminal court, and that America is very reticent to allow any American citizen to come under that adjudication, which - okay, fine, come up with a secondary system. Which can be done. It was done in Rwanda. It can be done very quickly. It just - there's just no more time to be talking about it and be arguing about it. If nations really are about building democracy and growing and spreading the message of freedom then start there and start now.
[from trailer] John McCain: The United States is the greatest force for good in the world. John McCain: We have, not an obligation to go out and start wars, but certainly to spread democracy and freedom, throughout the world. John McCain: ...When does the United States go from a force for good, to a force of imperialism?
Senator John Waltzer: We were living in a democracy the last time I checked.
Natascha: But this is a democracy Harvey... Harvey Dent: When their enemies were at the gates, the Romans would suspend democracy and appoint one man to protect the city. It wasn't considered an honor, it was considered a public service. Rachel Dawes: Harvey, the last man who they appointed the Republic was named Caesar and he never gave up his power. Harvey Dent: Okay, fine. you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
Ché: Yeah, just one shell, and governments fall like flies! Kapow! Die! They stumble and fall! Bye-bye - backs to the wall! Aim high - we're having a ball! The tank and bullet rule as democracy dies!
