Lawrence of Arabia quotes

There is only the desert for you.

Auda Abu Tayi

T.E. Lawrence: I killed two people. One was... yesterday? He was just a boy and I led him into quicksand. The other was... well, before Aqaba. I had to execute him with my pistol, and there was something about it that I didn't like.
General Allenby: That's to be expected.
T.E. Lawrence: No, something else.
General Allenby: Well, then let it be a lesson.
T.E. Lawrence: No... something else.
General Allenby: What then?
T.E. Lawrence: I enjoyed it.

General Allenby, T.E. Lawrence

Colonel Brighton: Look, sir, we can't just do nothing.
General Allenby: Why not? It's usually best.

General Allenby, T.E. Lawrence
