"Mr. Brady, it's the newspaper industry's job to comfort the victims. Torture the comfortable ones." "Mr. Drummond, we assure you that we disagree with you, and we still have the utmost respect for your right to be expressed. "Language itself is a lousy means of communication, so I think we should say whatever we want. There are a few other words, but everyone will understand!" "You have learned something, right? Cortez, these hallucinations are what make heroes." "Okay, let's face it! If you knew you were in this fight, it was your choice, not because of his headlines or my mission. So, not even because of their children, you joined because of yourself, because of something you believed." "Thank you, dear Lord, dear Father, that all blessings come from you , for all your rewards, please make us worthy of your grace, Amen. Keep eating, Henry, I prayed for your grace too."

"Colonel Drummond, the right to think freely is not being tried here." "I don't mean to offend the court in the slightest, sir, I think the right to think freely is indeed being tried, and as it's going on in court now, It's still in a dangerous situation. It's a free-thinking man on trial, and he's facing fines and jail time for speaking his mind!" "He's the only one I know who can sit still. I feel superior to others." "Right or wrong means nothing to me, but truth has meaning, as the direction of our prospects! But this is a very strange stupidity of our time, and we have a moral standard. Put it above human behavior, so that what everyone does, must be judged bit by bit by this dogmatic standard of right and wrong."

"Maybe one day you will understand." "Religion should comfort people's hearts instead of terrorizing them all the time." "It was not God who created people, but people who created God." A hateful God. And created the devil out of the darkness in his heart. "What I'm saying is that you can't justly enforce a bad law at all, you can only destroy, you can only punish, and I warn you that all evil laws, like the plague, will destroy all who come into contact with them, no matter what. Its opponents, or its pawns." "If you legislate against evolution, and you ban it from being taught in public schools, then you can ban it from being taught in private schools, and then you ban even reading evolution. And then you can ban newspapers and books, and then you can turn Catholics against Protestants, and you can turn Protestants against Protestants, and then you can try to impose your own religion on everyone's mind and body. If you can Do this, and you can do the other, for ignorance and fanaticism are never-ending and ever-hungry. Then, soon, Your Honor, there will be bans all over the sky, and ears full of Praise the virtues. We are about to start going backwards in great strides! Backwards! Following the glorious path of the 16th century, back to the time when the blind pilgrims burned to death those who dared to bring enlightenment to mankind."

"I hope Mr. Attorney is not implying that this court is arbitrary." "United, rascals of the world, we have nothing to burn you except the wise among you. Look, it's these idiots who write It's the process of democracy." "I wish I had the history of a frog in a well like yours, it makes things a lot easier." "My friends, the man I believe came into this world is To save the world from sin, he taught us that tolerance is a virtue. I believe in those principles, and I accept Colonel Drummond's apology." "Come to me if you're thirsty, and I'll give you life. "That's why he has no enemies in this world, only his friends hate him. "God, please do a miracle to save our prophet!" "Get a doctor quickly!"

"I can't imagine a world without Brady. Did he die because of what he said?" "He died of stomach upset." "He used to be so noble." "I'm in the obituary. Can you say that?" "Whatever you want, write whatever you want." "Those who disturb your family will suffer the breeze, and the foolish will be the servants of the wise." "I've had enough of you. You never seem to take the initiative to do anything other than destroy something." "Oh my God, can't you see the point of what's happening today? (It doesn't make any sense!) That's Because you yourself are meaningless, you're just a silence with nothing in your sleeve, laughing at everything that people feel longing for or striving for, I pity you! (Do you pity me?) Don't you? What can touch you, can warm you? Everyone has their own dreams, what is your dream? What do you need? You don't need anything, do you? Friends, love, a belief to rely on. You poor Dude, you're totally alone. When you're in the ground, nobody's going to go to your grave and weed your grave, nobody's going to mourn for you, nobody's going to care, you're totally alone!"

"You're wrong, Henry, you'll go, you're that kind of person, who else would defend my right to be alone?"
