I have seen the way he looks at you, and the way you look at him.::N'Kara: It doesn't matter, I belong to Belda.::Galen: A Hun warrior does not possess a woman until she bears his child. If you bear Bleda's then Attila will have nothing to do with you.::Galen: [takes a a little bag]::Galen: Take one of these every morning, they will keep Bleda's seed from your womb. Attila or Bleda. Bleda or Attila, I know who Galen would choose.

Flavius Aetius: [about Attila] A few more like him, and Rome could conquer the world all over again.

Placidia: Actius, you told me that if Attila attacked the West it would be on your head. Do you begin to feel the WEIGHT?

Honoria: [about Attila] He's quite striking - in a primitive sort of way.::Girl: His clothes are made of animal skins.::Honoria: Don't worry, he'll be out of them soon enough.

Flavius Aetius: Civilized men are easy to conquer, but civilization still belongs to the civilized, not the barbarians.::Attila the Hun: It belongs to whoever is strong enough to take it.

Young Attila: Kneel.::Man: Kneel to a boy?::Young Attila: Submit to me and live.

Attila the Hun: Trickery and deceit. That is the way of the Romans, not of the Huns.::Flavius Aetius: Yes, but which way rules the world?

Attila the Hun: You Romans play with kings and nations as a child plays with toys.::Flavius Aetius: I go back to Rome soon. Come with me, and learn how the world is ruled. Find out if Rome really does play with nations as though they were toys. There is no-one like you in Rome, and no-one like me here. You and I can do great things together.::Attila the Hun: If we don't kill each other first.

Honoria: I say that if a woman can only have power through a man, then let it be with the most powerful man she can find.

Bleda: Rua died without issue. I am the elder son of his brother, and so am rightfully king.::Attila the Hun: To what purpose? To fight in the service of Rome or some other nation?::Bleda: We will live as Huns have always lived. What else should we do?::Attila the Hun: We should rule the world!

Colossal [Quo Vadis]
THIS IS THE BIG ONE! The splendor and savagery of the world's wickedest empire! Three hours of spectacle you'll remember for a lifetime! [1964 re-release]

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!

Famous quotes by Petronius:

"Find here what each desires: men's pleasure goes - Strange ways: one pulls a thorn and one a rose"

"We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams, we would be reorganized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization."

"He has gone over to the majority."

"The pleasure of the act of love is gross and brief and brings loathing after it"

"We know that you are mad with much learning"

"Let us together closely lie and kiss, There is no labor, no shame in this: This hath pleased, doth please, and long will please, never, Can this decay, but is beginning ever"

"He that has a penny in his purse, is worth a penny: Have and you shall be esteemed"

"Outward beauty is not enough; to be attractive a woman must use words, wit, playfulness, sweet-talk, and laughter to transcend the gifts of Nature"

"It is fear that first brought gods into the world."

140517 Petronius & Neptune Spar with PRIMOFISH.COM

Duration: 4:37
Updated: 22 May 2014

This was our first Diving/Fishing trip with the new Yammy 300. The seas were cooperative so we ran all the way to Petronius since that is where the blue water charts showed good water. Along the way we stopped briely at a wreck and pulled on some Red Snapper, then briefly at VK-385 where Paul entered the water with a chum sack and his freediving gear to boat a nice Cobia in front of several boats who had been there a while. I then made a dive on the Submarine spot (165 feet deep) where I spotted a nice 30-40 pound Gag Grouper (Out of Season). We also stopped at MP356 for a quick dive and to try and get some live bait. There were some stud AJs there but we wanted to save ice for the tuna. Then we tried MP355 before finally making it to Petronius. There were quite a few boats but no apparent Tuna action. Omar and I made a dive there on Petronius and Omar got a nice Scamp while I took pictures and video. We started some trolling toward Marlin but got impatient and picked up and ran to Neptune Spar where Luke boated a nice Scamp. Paul and Omar wore out the Mangroves and they had some really nice size to them. Luke chummed up the sharks with a Jack Cravelle he poked at MP356. I took pics and video as usual. Then Omar wanted an AJ so we went north to the first Rig on the shelf (I don't remember which one). He poked 2 AJs there and Paul said he knew where a Cobia was if we could make it before sunset. We headed to his secret hole and made it just after sunset where he bagged another Cobia in the twilight. It was a fun day in the Sun that encompassed 196nm, 16.5 hours, and 111.2 gallons of fuel.

In rage, she berates him, in front of all. Trimalchio is repentant at first, but his drunken state turn him against her and he throws a wine cup at her, hitting her on the head. She bawls, more out of embarrassment than pain, while Scintilla, Habinneas try to calm Trimalchio. The guests watch on with raised eyebrows and uneasiness. They leave the room arguing. Back to our three friends, Enclopius, the ex-gladiator, Giton, his lover, and Ascyltos, ex-lover of Enclopius and troublemaker. Also pretty well drunk, they decide to leave and go for what looks like an exit. They are greeted by guard dogs and slave that escorts them back to the banquet table. Enter Trimalchio, Fortuna, Scintilla and Habinneas again. Some reconciliation has been made. Suddenly a rooster crows out in the middle of the night. The sound send chills running through Trimalchio and attempts different acts to rid of the bad omen. This leads him to declare the fleeting nature of life and that one day he will be gone. His slaves begin weeping. Fortuna begins weeping, they all end up weeping and wailing. Trimalchio prostrates himself as a corpse and the slaves bring in funeral items as if all had been already prepared. They begin a strange, drunken funeral procession dance. As the funeral slowly passes out of stage, they leave a room littered with passed out guests, other guests who are leaving laughing at the spectacle of the evening of the freed slaves who are now super wealthy, and our three friends. Enclopius is almost passed out too. Giton and Ascyltos, carry him back to their apartment in the inn and put him to bed. But Giton and Ascyltos look at each other. Giton gives in to the moment and the two make love in the other bed while Enclopius sleeps.

Soundstreams presents 'Adam's Lament' (2009) by Arvo Pärt

Duration: 23:00
Updated: 12 Nov 2013

In an interview in Toronto in the 1980's, Pärt shared his personal definition of minimalism as the process by which his music is reduced to the number One. In his view, that One is the Divine Creator. In Adam's Lament (2009) he sees the Biblical Adam as a unifying symbol. Pärt said, "Our ancestor Adam foresaw the human tragedy that was to come and experienced it as his own guilty responsibility, the result of his sinful act. He suffered all the cataclysms of humanity into the depths of depression, inconsolable in his agony." Adam's Lament is based on a Russian text by the ascetic monk and poet, St. Silouan of Athos (1866--1938). Pärt's fascination with Silouan is such that his setting of this text is faithful to its every nuance. The music reflects a range of devotional writing that's by turns dramatic, passionate, humble and submissive. This work was premiered at 'The Music of Arvo Part' concert presented by Soundstreams on October 1, 2013 at Koerner Hall in Toronto, Canada and performed by Choir 21, Virtuoso String Orchestra and Tonu Kaljuste (conductor).

Top Bitterness, While Heaven Cried

I won't cry a single tear
As autumn rain begins to fall
I remember, hear her voice
Through heavenly meadows we tried to run
As if we could touch the sky
Times are changing and so did we
Our love was never meant to be
She laid her body next to mine
It felt no pain, it takes no life
As she buried the shining blade
Her body trembles by it's touch
Sparkling love it gives to her
And while heaven cried... she died
Ohh i loved her... but now she's gone
The rain reminds me of the only one
Her breath still creeping on my neck

Top Bitterness, The Truth You Dread

Fear covers your heart and your soul like a sombre shadow
Your whole way of life is a farce, bad luck seems to follow
Your mode of living is a path of debris
If you don't struggle, you won't resist
Don't drown your sorrows 'cause the can swim
Drugs are no solace, problems will begin
You can run, but you can not hide
The truth you dread stays by your side
So just relax and fear no threat
You have to fight the truth you dread
Try to live free
Don't flee from reality
Forget the fucking past
Hope will die at last
The suicidal thought is always by your side
Don not succumb, you have to fight
Don't drown your sorrows 'cause the can swim
Drugs are no solace, problems will begin
You can run, but you can not hide
The truth you dread stays by your side
So just relax and fear no threat
You have to fight the truth you dread
Thoughts are running amok
Your mind seems to break
The soul is forsaken
Emotions escalate
It seems as if the scars on your soul won't heal
But as time comes by redemption will reveal
Fleeing from reality
Fleeing from the truth
A life on the run
In search for refuge
Don't drown your sorrows 'cause the can swim
Drugs are no solace, problems will begin
You can run, but you can not hide
The truth you dread stays by your side
So just relax and fear no threat
You have to fight the truth you dread
I have to listen to the voice in my mind
Walking straight forward and don't waste my life
Life isn't senseless, don't wanna be dead

Top Bitterness, Sweet Suicide Solution

A land of snow and ice
Bound by indistinct Thoughts
A bloody piece of meat
Where once has been my heart
Nothing more remains
No future an no past
Forced to carry on
By the finally dying hope
Down by the bloody sea
Where silent rivers ran
Seems the place to be
To come and see the end
A thousand burning lies
Are cutting through my veins
Melting with her tears
To an everflowing stream
Pain - Is all that's left inside
Hate - Is all that's left behind
Hate and Pain - is all that's left behind
Hate and Pain - Solution suicide
As I see my broken body laying on the ground
As I feel the cold white light burning from inside
Through the spheres she's haunting me, trying to get my soul
Through the heat I can feel, how my body get's cold
Drifting through loneliness
Still not knowing where to stop
Pounding raindrops still are falling
Washing away the crimson blood
Voices calling through the air
Sweet they sound, almost near
Will my fallen angel appear
To rescue me or bring despair
Pain - Is all that's left inside
Hate - Is all that's left behind
Hate and Pain - is all that's left behind

Top Bitterness, Silence Bloody Silence

The path of perdition
Is edged with the grief of sinners
Punished by their own creed
Banished from sanctuary
Leave me alone
I won't give up
No one can judge my way of life
The path of felicitounsness
Is paved with the blood of innocence
Raped by the light of christ
Falling into disgrace
Leave me alone
Shut the fuck up
No one should tell me where to stop
No more depression
Live your own life
Don't try to blame me
For the things you've done
Never knowing how to react
At the edge of reality
Don't try to fight me
You shouldn't dare
Don't stand in my way
Because now it's time for...
Bloody Silence - Blood on my hands
Bloody Silence - Now make my day
Bloody Silence - Time for my revenge
Bloody Silence - Now meet thy end
Leave me alone
Shut the fuck up
No one should tell me where to stop
It's time for...
Bloody Silence - Blood on my hands
Bloody Silence - Now make my day
Bloody Silence - Time for my revenge

Top Bitterness, Self-fulfilling Prophecy

Confrontation against a daily hell
Meaningless movements all around me
Mortal frames only shadows of their self
Feelings of hate
Revealing my mind
Thoughts of fear
Controlling my life
Two-faced people praying for life
Ignorance, don't care if it's right
Total frustration becomes to common
Show no weakness, believe in yourself
Feelings of hate
Revealing my mind
Thoughts of fear
Controlling my life
Tell me your secrets, tell me your dreams
Teach me the things you want to see
Tell me your secrets, tell me your lies
Teach me the things you have in mind
March on through life
Don't look aside
Find what you seek
Forget about the weak
That's my self-fulfilling prohecy!
Tranquilize your senses, become one of us
Builded upon ruins, a foundation on trust'
Loose yourself in the deep dreams of hope
Freedom of the soul, the meaning of life'
Feelings of hate
Revealing my mind
Thoughts of fear

Top Bitterness, Grub For The Gulls

Some chose to follow others
Don't think just act
Like the mighty men have told
Theses man know how to talk
Make you believe
But they don't practice what they preach
The food for the fools is served for us all
Get your place at the table and you will fall
Grub for the gulls
Filled with sorrow
Grub for the gulls
Spit or swallow
Mankind is marching
Like marionettes
Towards money and might
Isn't that sad'
Grub for the gulls
Filled with sorrow
Grub for the gulls
Spit or swallow
Beware the choirs are calling
To pull you down
Into the mud of stinking lies
Filled with misanthropy
Common people
Stand up and fight
The pool of decadence is forced with might
Common people stand up and fight!
Mankind is marching
Like marionettes
Towards money and might
Isn't that sad'
Grub for the gulls
Filled with sorrow
Grub for the gulls
Spit or swallow
Don't be a fool
And serve liars

Top Bitterness, Buried In Life

Once again I lost my way
In this false world
Searching for reality
Did I lose my mind'
All hope has died, at the point of my soul-mutilation
No hope inside, when I try to escape from my fears
A thought burns inside
This thought of destruction, the word suicide
No more feelings inside to awake, awake from this nightmare
All senses clear
One with my feelings, one with my mind
The pressure grows inside to be free, free from this pain
Deep inside, there's a thought in my mind: Suicide
Bring me to life in the death of my life
All love is lost
Feelings always hurt
My soul imprisioned in cage
No place to find my rest
At this point of no return
Myself seems to be lost
Gathering of all the hate
Is this my fate'
Buried in Life!
The wish to die!
Buried in Life!
A thought burns inside
This thought of destruction, the word suicide
No more feelings inside to awake, awake from this nightmare
All senses clear
One with my feelings, one with my mind
The pressure grows inside to be free, free from this pain
All hope has died, at the point of my soul-mutilation
No hope inside, when I try to escape from my fears
Buried in Life!
Still wish to die!

Top Bitterness, Burden Of Past

Burden of Past
Chains of subconsciousness bound me to the past
Hate and depression, all this seems to last
Just like a shdow, I can't hide this
I can't run away to the life I miss
I wear a mask every time
Nobody knows whit lies behind
My inner self is cut in two
Nobody knows the hell I'm through
In the claws of destiny
This is the burden of past
It brings you to your knees
This is the burden of past
I wear it on my shoulders, sometimes I break down
The man who stands in front of you is often a false clown
I wear a mask every time
Nobody knows whit lies behind
My inner self is cut in two
Nobody knows the hell I'm through
In the claws of destiny
This is the burden of past
It brings you to your knees
This is the burden of past
The time which lies behind me is sometimes far away
But it has the power to turn my life into grey
The wound deep inside me endanger my present life
But I will go on, this can't bring me down
I wear a mask every time
Nobody knows whit lies behind
My inner self is cut in two
Nobody knows the hell I'm through
In the claws of destiny
This is the burden of past
It brings you to your knees

Top Bitterness, Autumn's Fall

As the season begin to change
Sadness fills my heart
Like a tree without a leave
I start to search for life
Once upon a time
I was lost in life
Drifting away
Don't know where to stay
I search my way
In a place I never seem to find
Lost in my own mind
Where winds of darkness blow so cold
It's all so cold!
My dreams turn into nightmares, Heaven becomes hell
Total isolation saves me from frustration
No more tomorrow, yesterday is gone
My life just seems to be a waste of time
Leaves fall to the ground
Time is running low
It feels so unreal
To live this lie
But now I try to escape
From the things I once loved
To become one with myself
Before I leave to die
Seasons change
Life goes on and on
Surounded by hope
Which won't fit on me
Offering me love
But inside I still feel so cold
It's all so cold!
My dreams turn into nightmares, Heaven becomes hell
Total isolation saves me from frustration
No more tomorrow, yesterday is gone
My life just seems to be a waste of time
Leaves fall to the ground
Time is running low
It feels so unreal
To live this lie
