Movie 300. Memorable quotes.

-Your fingers can finish what your fingers started... or has the oracle robbed you of your desire as well?
-It would take more than the words of a drunken adolescent girl to rob me of my desire for you.
-Then, why so distant?
-Because it seems though a slave and captive of lecherous old men... the oracle's words could set fire to all that I love.
-So that is why my king loses sleep and is forced from the warmth of his bed?
-There's only one woman's words that should affect the mood of my husband. Those are mine.
-Then what must a king do to save his world when the very laws he is sworn to protect force him to do nothing?
-It is not a question of what a Spartan citizen should do... nor a husband... nor a king. Instead, ask yourself, my dearest love, what should a free men do?


-Spartan!
-Yes,  milady.
-Come back with your shield or on it.
-Yes, milady.
Goodbye my love. He doesn't say it. There is not room for softness... not in Sparta. No place for weakness. Only the hard and strong may call themselves Spartans. Only the hard, only the strong.

-My friend.
-I have lived my entire life without regret until now. It is not that my son gave up his life for his country. It's just that I never told him that I loved him the most. That he stood by me with honor. That he was all that was  best in me.


-May I give the floor now to the wife of Leonidas and queen of Sparta.
-What's this?
-This is nothing.
-Councilmen. I stand before you not only as your queen. I come to you as a mother. I come to you as a wife. I come to you as a Spartan woman. I come to you with great humility. I am not here to represent Leonidas. His actions speak louder than my word ever could. I am here for all of those voices which cannot be heard. Mothers, daughters, fathers, sons. Three hundred families that bleed for our rights and for the very principles this room was built upon. We are at war, gentleman. We must send the entire Spartan army to aid our king in the preservation of not just ourselves, but of our children. Send the army for the preservation of liberty. Send it for justice. Send it for law and order. Send it for reason. But most importantly, send our army for hope. Hope that a king and his men have been not wasted to the pages of history. That their courage bonds us together. That we are made stronger by their actions and that your choices today reflect their bravery.
