Quotes:

Prince Caspian: [Caspian and Peter begin a swordfight. Peter's sword gets stuck in a tree, so he attempts to pick up a rock to hit Caspian]::Lucy Pevensie: No! Stop!::Peter Pevensie: [after seeing the Narnians gathering around] Prince Caspian?::Prince Caspian: Yes. And who are you?::[Susan and Edmund run over]::Susan Pevensie: Peter!::Prince Caspian: High King Peter?::Peter Pevensie: I believe you called.::Prince Caspian: Yes, but... I thought you'd be... older.::Peter Pevensie: Well if you like, we can come back in a few years.::Prince Caspian: No! No, it's alright! You're not exactly what I expected.::Prince Caspian: [locks eyes with Susan]::Edmund Pevensie: Neither are you.

Nikabrik: I told you we should have killed him when we had the chance.::Trufflehunter: You know why we can't!::Prince Caspian: If we're taking a vote, I'm with him.

Reepicheep: We were expecting someone taller!::Trumpkin: You're one to talk.::Reepicheep: Is that supposed to be irony?

Reepicheep: We've anxiously awaited your return, my Liege.

Prince Caspian: Two days ago, I didn't believe in the existence of talking animals... of dwarves or... or centaurs. Yet here you are, in strengths and numbers that we Telmarines could never have imagined. Whether this horn::[raises horn for all to see]::Prince Caspian: is magic or not, it brought us together... and together, we have a chance to take back what is ours!

Lucy Pevensie: They're so still.::Trumpkin: The trees? What did you expect?::Lucy Pevensie: They used to dance.

Doctor Cornelius: [wakes Prince Caspian]::Prince Caspian: Five more minutes.

Lucy Pevensie: I wonder who lived here.::Susan Pevensie: [picks up a small gold statue] I think we did.::Edmund Pevensie: Hey, that's mine! From my chess set!::Peter Pevensie: Which chess set?::Edmund Pevensie: Well, I didn't exactly have a solid gold chess set in Finchley, did I?

King Miraz: Tell me, Prince Edmund...::Edmund Pevensie: King.::King Miraz: I beg your pardon.::Edmund Pevensie: It's King Edmund, actually. Just King, though. Peter's the High King.::[awkward pause]::Edmund Pevensie: I know, it's confusing.

Lucy Pevensie: What happened?::Peter Pevensie: Ask him.::Susan Pevensie: Peter!::Prince Caspian: Me? You could have called it off, there was still time.::Peter Pevensie: No, there wasn't, thanks to you. If you had kept to the plan, those soldiers might be alive right now.::Prince Caspian: And if you just had stayed here, as I suggested, they definitely would be!::Peter Pevensie: You called us, remember?::Prince Caspian: My first mistake.::Peter Pevensie: No. Your first mistake was thinking you could lead these people.::[turns around and begins to walk off]::Prince Caspian: Hey!::[Peter turns to look at him]::Prince Caspian: I am not the one who abandoned Narnia.::Peter Pevensie: You invaded Narnia. You have no more right leading than Miraz does.::[Caspian pushes past Peter]::Peter Pevensie: You, him, your father! Narnia's better off without the lot of you!::[Caspian and Peter draw swords, intending to attack each other]

Quotes:

[Mr Beaver is carefully testing the strength of the ice. It starts to crack beneath him]::Mrs. Beaver: You've been sneaking second helpings, haven't you?::Mr. Beaver: Well, you never know which meal's gonna be your last. Especially with your cooking.

Mr. Beaver: When Adam's Flesh and Adam's bone sits at Cair Paravel in throne, the evil time will be over and done.::Susan Pevensie: You know that doesn't really rhyme.

Fox: Forgive me, your Majesty.::Jadis The White Witch: Oh, don't waste my time with flattery.::Fox: Not to seem rude, but I wasn't actually talking to you.::[looks at Edmund]

Fox: This is what becomes of those who cross the witch.::Mr. Beaver: You take one more step, traitor, and I'll chew you to splinters!::Fox: Relax. I'm one of the good guys.::Mr. Beaver: Yeah? Well, you look an awful lot like one of the bad ones.::Fox: An unfortunate family resemblance. But we can argue breeding later. Right now we've got to move.

Fox: Greetings, gents. Lost something have we?::Maugrim: Don't patronize me! I know where your allegiance lies. We're looking for some humans.::Fox: Humans? Here in Narnia? That's a valuable bit of information, don't you think?

[Mr. Beaver takes the Pevensies to his house]::Mrs. Beaver: Those aren't badgers!

Ginarrbrik: [to Edmund] This way for your num-nums.

Susan Pevensie: The professor knew we were coming.::Edmund Pevensie: Perhaps we've been incorrectly labeled.

Jadis The White Witch: I can make anything you like.::Edmund Pevensie: Can you make me taller?

Jadis The White Witch: You know, Aslan, I'm a little disappointed in you. Did you honestly think by all this that you could save the human traitor? You are giving me your life and saving no one. So much for love. Tonight, the Deep Magic will be appeased, but tomorrow, we will take Narnia forever! In that knowledge, despair... and die!

Quotes:

Petronius: It is not enough to live well. One must die well.

Petronius: [in his dying letter to Nero] To Nero, Emperor of Rome, Master of the World, Divine Pontiff. I know that my death will be a disappointment to you, since you wished to render me this service yourself. To be born in your reign is a miscalculation; but to die in it is a joy. I can forgive you for murdering your wife and your mother, for burning our beloved Rome, for befouling our fair country with the stench of your crimes. But one thing I cannot forgive - the boredom of having to listen to your verses, your second-rate songs, your mediocre performances. Adhere to your special gifts, Nero - murder and arson, betrayal and terror. Mutilate your subjects if you must; but with my last breath I beg you - do not mutilate the arts. Fare well, but compose no more music. Brutalize the people, but do not bore them, as you have bored to death your friend, the late Gaius Petronius.

[on being told the Christians are being blamed for the burning of Rome]::Vinicius: The people won't believe such a lie!::Petronius: But they are believing it. People will believe any lie, if it is fantastic enough.

Petronius: [after seeing Rome consumed by flames] Now indeed, Nero has his place in history.

Petronius: [to Nero] You will be worthy of the spectacle - as the spectacle is worthy of you.

Vinicius: [as the Christians file into the arena, singing] These people know how to die, Nero. In death you will squeal like a hog!

[Nero is exasperated with the mobs]::Emperor Nero: Do I live for the people or do the people live for me?::Petronius: You are the sun in their sky! Does the sun have privacy?::Emperor Nero: The sun has the night! These people expect me to shine both day and night!

Emperor Nero: [as the Christians enter the arena to die]They're singing!

Vinicius: [when asked how his army defeated the Gauls and the Britons] We fought them with our bowels! Try it sometime!

Petronius: [to Eunice] You ask why I do this. Because I love Nero, perhaps? He fills me with loathing!

Es war in des Maien linden Glanz,
da hielt die Jungfern von Tübingen tanz.
Sie tanzten und tanzten wohl allzumal
um eine Linde im grünen Tal.
Da kam ein Jüngling im stolzen Kleid
sich wandte bald zu der schönsten Maid.
Er reichte ihr da die Hände zum Tanz,
er setzt ihr aufs Haupt einen meergrünen Kranz.
"O Jüngling, warum ist so kalt in dein Arm?"
"In Neckars Tiefen, da ist es nicht warm!"
"O Jüngling warum ist so bleich dein Hand?"
"Ins Wasser nicht dringt der Sonne Brand!"
Er tanzt mit ihr von der Linde weit.
"Laß, Jüngling! Horch die Mutter mir schreit!"
Er tanzt mit ihr den Neckar entlang.
"Laß, Jüngling! Weh! Mir wird so bang!"
Er faßt sie fest um den schlanken Leib.
"Schön Maid! Du bist des Wassermanns Weib."
Er tanzt mit ihr in die Wellen hinein.
"Ade o Vater, und Du, o Mutter mein!"
Er führt sie in einen kristallenen Saal.

Nechein man ter ne ist so wise
Ter sina nart wizze
Ter tot ter bezeichint ten tieb
Iuer ne lat er hie niet
Ir bezeichint allo den man
Ir muozint tur not hinnan
Ir bezeichint allo den man

In einem dunklen Tal
Lag jüngst ich träumend nieder
Da sah ich einen Strahl
Von meiner Heimat wieder
Auf morgenroter Au'
War Vaters Haus gelegen
Wie war der Himmel blau
Die Flur wie reich an Segen!
Wie war mein Heimatland
Voll Gold und Rosenhelle!
Doch bald der Traum verschwandt
Schmerz trat an seine stelle
Da irrt' ich weit hinaus
Ins öde Land voll Sehnen
Noch irr'ich, such'das Haus

Faune nympharum fungientum amator
Ecce chorus virginum
tempore vernali
dum soli incendium
radios æquali
In hæc valle florida
floreus flagratus
inter septa lilia
locus purpuratus
Sueriat lenis arundoris
Narrat fabulæ luex oritur:
In fortune solio
sederam elatus
prosperitatis vario
flore coronatus
Quiequid enim florui
Felix et Beatus
nunc a summa corrui

Tempus transit gelidum
Mundus renovatur
Verque redit floridum
Forma rebus datur
Avis modulatur
Modulans letatur
Lucidior et lenior aer iam
Serenatur
Iam florea iam frondea silva
Comis densatur
Ludunt super gramina
Virgines decore
Quarum nova carmina
Dulci sonant ore
Annuunt favore
Voluchres canore
Favent et odore
Tellus picta flore
Cor igitur et scingitur et
Tangitur amore
Virginibus et avibus strepentibus sonore
Tendit modo recia
Puer pharetratus
Qui deorum curia
Prebet famulatus
Cuius dominatus
Nimium est latus
Per hunc triumphatus
Sum et sanciatus
Pugnaveram et fueram inprimis relucatus

Ein meister las,
Troum unde spiegelglas,
Daz sie zem winde
Bi der staete sin gezalt
Loup unde gras,
Daz ie min fröide was,

Iz dunket mich also gestalt;
Dar zuo die bluomen manicvalt,
Diu heide rot, der grüene walt.
Der vogele sanc ein truric ende hat;
Dar zuo der linde

So we dir, Werlt, wie dirz gebende stat.
Heiliger Krist,

Die nach dir gebildet sint,

Und aller guoten dinge ein kint,

Hast du das Schloß gesehen,
das hohe Schloß am Meer?
Goldenen und rosig wehen
die Nebel drüber her.
Wohl hab ich es gesehen,
das hohe Schloß am Meer,
und den Mond darüber stehen,
und Nebel weit umher.
Der Wind und des Meeres wallen,
gaben sie frischen Klang?
Vernahmst du aus hohen Hallen
Saiten und Festgesang?
Die Winde, die Wogen alle
lagen in tiefer Ruh´,
einem Klagelied aus der Halle
hört´ ich mit Tränen zu.
Sahest du oben stehen
den König und sein Gemahl?
Der roten Mäntel wehen,
der goldenen Kronen Strahl?
Führten sie nicht mit Wonne
eine schöne Jungfrau dar,
strahlend wie eine Sonne,
strahlend im goldnen Haar?
Wohl sah ich die Eltern beide,
ohne der Kronen Licht,
im schwarzen Trauerkleide;

Warum bin ich nicht der Rasen,
der empfängt in schöner Nacht,
meine Schäferin zum Schlafe,
den die Liebe wohl bewacht?
Warum bin ich nicht die Brise,
streichelnd über ihren Bauch,
unter ihrem Fuß die Wiese
und in ihrem Mund der Hauch?
Warum bin ich nicht die Welle,
die im Schoße sie empfängt,
warum bin ich nicht die helle
Kette, die sie um sich hängt?
Warum bin ich nicht der Spiegel,
der ihr schönes Antlitz zeigt,
ihren Augen dieses Siegel
ihrer Pracht entgegenneigt?
Warum bin ich nicht die Laute,
über die ihr Finger schwirrt?
Zärtlich klingt mir die vertraute
Stimme, die das Herz verwirrt.
nur ein zupfen dieser Schönen
nähme mich sogleich hinfort
und alle meine Saiten tönen,
mit den ihren im Akkord.
Warum bin ich nicht die Spindel,
ich könnte immer bei ihr stehn,
und in einem süßem Schwindel,
würde ihre Hand mich drehn?
Warum bin ich nicht der Rocken,
den sie feuchtet mit dem Mund,
ich wäre nie verdorrt und trocken,
ich wäre glücklich und gesund?
Warum kann ich nicht im Fluge
eines Traumes ihr Herz erstehn,
warum kann ich nicht vom Truge,
in die Wahrheit übergehn?
Aber Ehrgeiz hat auf Erden
meine Brust zu stolz geschwellt.
Denn alles möcht ich gerne werden,
alles was ihr wohl gefällt.
Denn alles möcht ich gerne werden,
