Quotes:

Aurelia: If you marry Cinna's daughter you will be identified with the popular party whether you wish or not.::Caesar: I wish it.::Aurelia: They are not our people.::Cousin: You wish to join with farmers and hagglers and beggars?::Caesar: Our family itself did not exactly drop straight out of Jupiter's ass.

[of Caesar]::Marcus Brutus: He spared my life.::Caius Cassius: And took the life of Cato, your wife's father who treated you like a son... Has Portia ceased her mourning?::Marcus Brutus: No... and neither have I.::Caius Cassius: So, you're mourning over Cato's death?::Marcus Brutus: Cassius, yes, I and grieving... but private affections and public duty are not the same thing.::Caius Cassius: And yet they say that in your grief that you just weep and say prayers... and fill your wife's drinking cup and go to bed... And when Caesar comes to you tonight, you'll be like his boy, filling his cup too.::Marcus Brutus: *Who* is saying this? Who?

[Brutus is reading]::Caesar: Let me see... Plato's laws? Do you read this?::Marcus Brutus: Yes.::Caesar: And, what did you think of it?::Marcus Brutus: Well Plato thinks that democracy is doomed to failure; he thinks that a state should be run by a dictator, a dictator who's become enlightened through experience and learning.::Caesar: I don't think that your Plato would get on with your Uncle Cato.

[Caesar is dying]::Caesar: Brutus...

[Caesar and Brutus are talking before Pompey's triumph]::Portia: Brutus, hurry up! Are you coming?::Caesar: Hurry and catch up, or else you'll have to come along with me.

Marcus Cato: This is the greatest crime in Roman law.

Caesar: There's a lot of Rome still out there, it just isn't called Rome yet.

[Comic portrayals of Caesar and Cleopatra are being played on the stage]::Play Actor: [Playing Caesar] You kissed me with the tongue of a serpent!::Play Actor: [Playing Cleopatra] I must taste you to see if you are poisoned!::Play Actor: And am I?::Play Actor: No, but I can taste Gaul.

Play Actor: [Playing Cleopatra] Will you stay with me in Egypt, Caesar?::Play Actor: [Playing Caesar] What has Egypt got to offer that Rome does not?::Play Actor: Have you heard of the 'fertile cresent?'::Play Actor: No... is it a region down below?::Play Actor: [Lifts leg] Indeed it is! Ha!::Play Actor: What grows there?::Play Actor: I believe a region fertile enough to hatch a king. If you doubt it, try planting something there.

Lucius Cornelius Sulla: [to the Roman Senate] Your feet never touch the ground, your ass has never touched a horse! How can you possibly... represent the people whom most of you have never even met?

1- Carl Orff (July 10, 1895 -- March 29, 1982) was a 20th-century German composer, best known for his cantata Carmina Burana (1937). In addition to his career as a composer, Orff developed an influential approach toward music education for children. 2- Orff is most known for Carmina Burana (1936), a "scenic cantata". It is the first part of a trilogy that also includes Catulli Carmina and Trionfo di Afrodite. Carmina Burana reflected his interest in medieval German poetry. The trilogy as a whole is called Trionfi, or "Triumphs". The composer described it as the celebration of the triumph of the human spirit through sexual and holistic balance. The work was based on thirteenth-century poetry found in a manuscript dubbed the Codex latinus monacensis found in the Benedictine monastery of Benediktbeuern in 1803 and written by the Goliards; this collection is also known as Carmina Burana. While "modern" in some of his compositional techniques, Orff was able to capture the spirit of the medieval period in this trilogy, with infectious rhythms and simple harmonies. The medieval poems, written in Latin and an early form of German, are often racy, but without descending into smut. "Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi", commonly known as "O Fortuna", from Carmina Burana, is often used to denote primal forces, for example in the Oliver Stone movie The Doors.[18] The work's association with fascism also led Pier Paolo Pasolini to use the movement "Veris leta facies" to accompany the concluding scenes of torture and murder in his final film Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom.[19] With the success of Carmina Burana, Orff disowned all of his previous works except for Catulli Carmina and the Entrata (an orchestration of "The Bells" by William Byrd (1539--1623)), which were rewritten until acceptable by Orff. Later on, however, many of these earlier works were released (some even with Orff's approval). As an historical aside, Carmina Burana is probably the most famous piece of music composed and premiered in Nazi Germany. Carmina Burana was in fact so popular that Orff received a commission in Frankfurt to compose incidental music for A Midsummer Night's Dream, which was supposed to replace the banned music by Mendelssohn. After several performances of this music, he claimed not to be satisfied with the it and reworked it into the final version that was first performed in 1964.
