Quotes
-
Ahmad : Are men only to be ruled by fear?
Jaffar : Men are evil. Hatred behind their eyes, lies on their lips, betrayal in their hearts. You will learn one day, Great King, that there are three things that men respect: the lash that descends, the yoke that breaks, and the sword that slays. By the power and terror of these you may conquer the earth.
-
Jaffar : Forget Ahmad. He's no longer blind. For a man with eyes the world is full of women. Only I am cursed, that I can see only you.
-
Astrologer : But she loves the blind man.
Jaffar : Do you call the lisping of two children in the garden love? Love she has yet to learn and I have yet to teach her.
-
Jaffar : Strange how an unpleasant child can make a decent dog!
-
Jaffar : Why do you close your eyes? There's little time left to see him.
