Hercules quotes from Hercules: The Legendary Journeys

Hercules

Zarathustra saw his immortality as a curse. Releasing him was an act of mercy and, since you don't know the meaning of the word, I'd say I'm getting through to Iolaus.

Uh-uh-uh. Zarathustra was the only one who knew how to perform the ritual. Now, it's just you and me... buddy. (laughs)

Optimism, Hercules, is the shield of fools. As long as people allow themselves to be ruled by their wills, there will always be those who take my path.

Hercules

But there'll be more than don't. There's something in everyone even you can't touch, Dahak: the impulse to create, to nurture life instead of destroy it. As long as it exists, I'll keep my optimism, thanks.

Time's up.

Hercules

You got that right!

Hercules

Olivia, you were my mother's best friend. You know me.

I don't know who you are anymore. I'm just glad Alcmene isn't here to see what you've become.

Hercules

(to Dahak) This is round one. (walks away)

Hercules

What have you done with the Olympians?

The real question is, what have they done with themselves? They left before I arrived, but don't worry. I'll find them.

If you don't kill me now, I'll take the whole world soul by soul!

Hercules

Oh, lighten up! (activates the Stone of Creation)
