Quotes
-
Julius Caesar : I thought you had reservations about the gods.
Gracchus : Privately I believe in none of them - neither do you. Publicly, I believe in them all.
-
Crassus : [about Antoninus and Spartacus] Let them fight now. Unchain them.
Julius Caesar : The entire city's been told, they'll fight tomorrow in the temple of your ancestors.
Crassus : They will fight now, for me! Here! And to the death! And the victor will be crucified!
-
Julius Caesar : [about Spartacus] Did you fear him, Crassus?
Crassus : Not when I fought him, I knew he could be beaten. But now I fear him, even more than I fear you.
Julius Caesar : Me?
Crassus : Yes, my dear Caesar, you.
-
Marcus Licinius Crassus : Why have you left us for Gracchus and the mob?
Julius Caesar : I've left no one, least of all Rome. This much I've learned from Gracchus, Rome is the mob.
Crassus : No! Rome is an eternal thought in the mind of God.
Julius Caesar : I had no idea *you'd* grown religious.
Crassus : That doesn't matter. If there were no gods at all, I'd revere them. If there were no Rome, I'd dream of her as I want you to do.
-
Julius Caesar : Is it me you want or is it the garrison?
Crassus : [laughs softly] Both.
-
Julius Caesar : So now we deal with pirates. We bargain with criminals.
Gracchus : Now, don't be so stiff-necked about it! Politics is a *practical* profession. If a criminal has what you want, you do business with him.
-
Julius Caesar : Gracchus is my friend. I won't betray him.
Marcus Licinius Crassus : Caesar? Which is worse? To betray a friend or to betray Rome herself?
-
Julius Caesar : What I do, I do not for myself; but, for Rome.
Gracchus : Rome? Poor, helpless Rome.
