Ben Yussuf: The Prophet has commanded us to rule the world. Where in all your land of Spain is the glory of Allah? When men speak of you they speak of poets, musicmakers, doctors, scientists. Where are your warriors? You dare to call youselves sons of the Prophet? You have become women! Burn your books! Make warriors of your poets! Let you doctors invent new poisons for our arrows. Let you scientists invent new war machines! And then, kill! Burn! Infidels live on your frontiers. Encourage them to kill each other. And when they are weak and torn, I will sweep up from Africa, and the empire of the One God, the true God, Allah, will spread, first across Spain, then across Europe, then the whole world!


--Herbert Lom (as Ben Yussuf) in El Cid

Captain Cyrus Harding: This was just the beginning. We escaped, but only into the clutches of the greatest storm in American History.
Captain Cyrus Harding: Below us, when we could still see through the patches of angry clouds, were smashed cities and forests torn up by their roots.
Captain Cyrus Harding: Then finally, the earth disappeared from our view. We were prisoners of the wind, helpless in the storm's mighty grip. And we wondered, how much longer we'd remain aloft. Would we ever set foot on the earth again?

Napoleon: [Thinking to himself as he gazes through the window] Already the wild geese are flying south. What if we are trapped here through winter?

The Phantom: I am going to teach you to sing, Christine. I am going to give you a new voice! A voice so wonderful that theatres all over the world will be filled with your admirers. You will be the greatest star the opera has ever known. Greater than the greatest! And when you sing, Christine, you will be singing only... for me.


--Herbert Lom (as ) in Phantom of the Opera

Gideon Spilitt: Captain, why don't we turn this island into a democracy and elect a leader? One who won't keep escaping to places which need escaping from.
Captain Cyrus Harding: Because all of us here are still at war, and I just happen to be the ranking officer.
