An excellent movie! Although I have seen the movie several times and am taking a class regarding the Greeks and Romans, I cannot recall any particular historical difference. You could try imdb.com

it's from Carmina Burana by Carl Orff.  \n\ni think it's been used in almost every movie trailer with a big epic swordfight scene, and even a beer commercial (Rickard's Red)

I heard that the story was from east of France, possibly even as far as Russia. It's a very old story. I'm sure that it had some basis in truth.

I like # 3 - that quote will mean more and more to you as you get older.\n\nI particularly like this one:\n\nYesterday is history, tomorrow's a mystery, today is a gift.  That's why we call it the present.

My favorite (and the longest one I know) comes from the Middle Ages, and is in Latin.  Saint Martin was travelling through France to Rome.  While on the road, he encountered the Devil, who began to tease him relentlessly.  After a few miles of this treatment, Saint Martin was so incensed that he beat Satan with his walking stick -- upon which Satan turned into a donkey.\n\nThis is why it's accurate to describe the devil as a French A**.  Just kidding.\n\nIn any case, upon his transformation, the Devil cried:\n\nSigna te signa; temere me tangis et angis;\nRoma tibi subito motibus ibit Amor.\n\nThis is a palindrome, and means "Make the sign of the cross and do it again; you vex and bother me without reason.  Soon you will reach Rome, the object of your wishes."  Seeing a ripe opportunity, Saint Martin jumped on the donkey's back and rode him to the Eternal City (and the donkey became Pope!  Just kidding).\n\nTo this you might reply: "Devil never even lived."  As for the author, he was distracted.  "God, a red nugget!  A fat egg under a dog!"  -- this is what I heard he said last.

"There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again." \n\nthat all he needs to say to convince me

Raoul Duke: I feel a bit lightheaded. Maybe you should drive.\nNarrator: Suddenly, there was a terrible roar all around us, and the sky was full with what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, and a voice was screaming:\nRaoul Duke: Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?!\nAcosta: Did you say something?\nRaoul Duke: Hm? Nevermind. It's your turn to drive.\nNarrator: No point in mentioning these bats, I thought. Poor bastard will see them soon enough.

The "wise man" that Peter Kevin Reeves refers to is Kurt Vonnegut.\n\nAs a New Yorker, I always hear people talk about how they're moving "out west" for one reason or another, and sometimes they make good on their threat. The truth is, though, that (in my experience) about 90% come back within two years.

Nicolaus Copernik from Poland. It was known before, but nobody dared to say it. Everybody was horribly afraid of the priests of the Catholic church!!!

Thomas Jefferson said:\n\nTimid men prefer the calm of despotism to the boisterous sea of liberty\n\nI would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it\n\nThose who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one

O Christian Martyr Who for Truth could die \nWhen all about thee Owned the hideous lie! \nThe world, redeemed from superstition's sway, \nIs breathing freer for thy sake today. \n--Words written by John Greenleaf Whittier and inscribed on a monument marking the grave of Rebecca Nurse, one of the condemned "witches" of Salem \n\n\nI found a site there's to much to copy and paste so check sorces.
