You are free. If I hurt you, it’s not what I wanted.[to Briseis]
Why did you choose this life?[Briseis]What life?[Achilles]To be a great warrior.[Briseis]I chose nothing. I was born, and this is what I am.[Achilles]
Who are you?[Achilles]I have endured what no one on earth has endured before. I kissed the hands of the man who killed my son.[Priam]
We men are wretched things.

War is young men dying and old men talking.[to Achilles]
The Thessalonian you’re fighting, he’s the biggest man I’ve ever seen. I wouldn’t want to fight him.[Messenger Boy]That’s why no one will remember your name.[Achilles]
Play your tricks on me, but not my cousin.[Achilles]You have your sword. I have my tricks. We play with the toys the gods give us.[Odysseus]
