Quotations for Today

Here are the Quotations ...

Movie: Zardoz(1974)


[first lines]

Arthur Frayn:
I am Arthur Frayn, and I am Zardoz. I have lived 300 years, and long to die. But death is no longer possible, I am immortal. I present now my story - full of mystery and intrigue. Rich in irony, and most satirical. It is set deep within a possible future, so none of these events have yet occurred. But they may! Be warned, lest you end as I. In this tale I am a fake god by occupation, and a magician by inclination. Merlin is my hero! I am the puppet master. I manipulate many of the characters and events you will see. But I am invented too for your entertainment and amusement. And you, poor creatures, who conjured you out of the clay? Is God in showbusiness too?

Bless me father for I have...

Cardinal Jinette:
Sinned! Yes, I know. You're very good at it. You shattered the Rose Window.

Van Helsing:
Well, not to split hairs, but it was Mr. Hyde who did the shattering.


Cardinal Jinette:
Thirteenth century. Over six hundred years old! I wish you a week in hell for that.

Van Helsing:
It would be a nice reprieve.

Cardinal Jinette:
Don't get me wrong. Your results are unquestionable, but your methods attract far too much attention. Wanted posters. We are not pleased.

Van Helsing:
Do you think I like being the most wanted man in Europe? Why don't you and the order do something about it?

Cardinal Jinette:
Because we do not exist.

Van Helsing:
Well then neither do I.

Cardinal Jinette:
When we found you crawling up the steps of this church, half dead, it was clear to all of us that you had been sent to do God's work.

Van Helsing:
Why can't He do it Himself?
