“Oh Lord, please don't burn us, don't grill or toast your flock, don't put us on the barbecue, or simmer us in stock, don't braise or bake or boil us, or stir-fry us in a wok. Oh please don't lightly poach us, or baste us with hot fat, don't fricassee or roast us, or boil us in a vat. And please don't stick thy servants Lord, in a rotissomat.”

Michael Palin - Chaplain

“As the dog fears the eagle, as the lamb fears the wolf, so is my heart and head with fear. Oh, mother Vesta, eternal mother of Rome, help me. Bring back the health of my father. Protect us from the danger which hangs - over the Empire. Let there be peace, over all Rome.”
Sophia Loren - Lucilla

“Many nights we've prayed, with no proof anyone could hear. In our hearts a hopeful song we barely understood. Now we are not afraid, although we know there's much to fear. We were moving mountains, long before we knew we could...”

Helen Mirren

“Your grandfather used to say that a bird which flies into your house is an angel. You must look upon his presence as a blessing.”
Ben Kingsley - Behrani
