“You have what I can afford to give. You are a panhandler, begging for anything, and I am the man walking briskly by, tossing a quarter or so into your paper cup. I can afford to give you this. This does not break me.”

“I don’t think I have to prove anything to anyone. I don’t expect anyone to give me any breaks. I’m not one of those people who wants to scream, ‘Give me a chance. I will show you what I can do!’ You know, I really don’t care.”

“I appreciate that you have your own tastes, but — give me a break!”

“You can say anything about me; as you please… But I am what I am and that's something that you can never be”

“How can you thank a man for giving you what's already yours? How then can you thank him for giving you only part of what's already yours?”

“Can you see me? Can you hear me? Does anything I say mean anything to you?”

“Give me your body and let me love you like I do
Come a little closer and let me do those things to you
This feeling will last forever, baby, that's the truth
Let me be your man so I can love you”

“I assure you, paladin king, that if I had a sword in hand, I would willingly cut out your heart, here and now. If you expect me to beg look elsewhere. The fool monk can bring me to my knees, but if I am not there of my own choosing, then calling it begging would ring as hollow as does your crown, yes?”

“Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it.”

“Drink to me with your eyes alone…. And if you will, take the cup to your lips and fill it with kisses, and give it so to me.”
