“Here you can be something. Here is the place to build a home. But it's not the land, there's always more land. It's the idea that we all have value - you and me. What we are fighting for, in the end, we're fighting for each other.”

Jeff Daniels - Col. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain

“What I'm fighting for is to prove I'm a better man than the others. There's many a man worse than me, and some better. But I don't think race or country matters a damn. What matters is justice. And that's why I'm here. I'll be treated as I deserve, not as my father deserved.”
Kevin Conway - Sgt. "Buster" Kilrain

“They do not die for us. Not for us. That at least is a blessing. If this war goes on, and it will... what else can we do but go on, you and I? It's always the same question forever. What else can we do? If they fight, we must fight with them. And does it matter after all who wins?”
Martin Sheen - Gen. Robert E. Lee

“- Jack Bull Chiles: Are you sayin', sir, that we fight for nothin'?
