Troy (2004) quotes

I'll tell you a secret. Something they don't teach you in your temple. The Gods envy us. They envy us because we're mortal, because any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.

Achilles

Messenger Boy : Are the stories true? They say your mother was an immortal godess. They say you can't be killed.
Achilles : I wouldn't be bothering with the shield then, would I?
Messenger Boy : The Thesselonian you're fighting... he's the biggest man i've ever seen. I wouldn't want to fight him.
Achilles : Thats why no-one will remember your name.

Messenger Boy, Achilles

The Gods only protect the strong.
