This is my 300th post. Rather than turn it into a meta-post or carry on with business as usual, I thought I'd usher this 300th post in with a short list of some of my favorite quotes from the movie "300".
Here they are, in no particular order:
- Theron: [before raping Queen Gorgo] This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this. I'm not your King. / Queen Gorgo: [having stabbed Theron and while holding sword into his body] This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this. I am not your Queen!
- Dilios: They have served the dark will of Persian kings for five hundred years. Eyes as dark as night... teeth filed to fangs... soulless. The personal guard to King Xerxes himself; the Persian warrior elite. The deadliest fighting force in all of Asia... the Immortals.
- [Dilios is putting a patch over his eye]
King Leonidas: Dilios, I trust that "scratch" hasn't made you useless.
Dilios: Hardly, my lord, it's just an eye. The gods saw fit to grace me with a spare. - King Leonidas: Spartans! Ready your breakfast and eat hearty... For tonight, we dine in hell!
- King Leonidas: [after the Persians ask the Greeks to give them their weapons] Come and get them!
- Xerxes: Consider the fate of your women!
King Leonidas: Clearly you don't know our women! I might as well have marched them up here, judging by what I've seen. - Queen Gorgo: Come back with your shield...or on it. [last words to her husband, Leonidas, before he and the 300 march off to Thermopylae]
- Zeus stabs the sky with thunderbolts... and batters the Persian ships with hurricane wind. Glorious...
- A thousand nations of the Persian empire descend upon you. Our arrows will blot out the sun. / Then we will fight in the shade.
- It's a honor to die at your side. / It's an honor to have lived at yours.
