"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son. Husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next." Sends a shiver down my spine just reading it.
You remember that night in the Garden you came down to my dressing room and said 'Kid, this ain't your night. We're goin' for the price on Wilson'. You 'member that? 'This ain't your night'. My night! I coulda taken Wilson apart. So what happens? He gets the title shot outdoors in a ball park and what do I get? A one-way ticket to Palookaville. You was my brother, Charlie. You shoulda looked out for me a little bit. You should taken care of me just a little bit. You shoulda taken care of me just a little bit so I wouldn't have to take them dives for the short-end money... I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody. Instead of a bum… which is what I am, let's face it."

"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career, skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you. I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you."
The ancient male symbol was the blade, it's a basic phallus. It's still used today on military uniforms. Yes, and the more penises you have, the higher your rank. Boys will be boys!
