Crassus quotes from Spartacus: War of the Damned

You believe wealth and position grant you advantage over those beneath you?

[After he defeated Spartacus at the cost of his son, lover and at the political defeat to Pompey] The past cannot be altered. The present holds but regret and loss. It is only in the days to come that a man may find solace ... when memory fades.

You ask me to kill you.

I command you to try.

It is a thing known, is it not, that you cannot win this conflict?

Spartacus

Sentiments shared by all the Romans I have killed who held such belief.

My son among them.

Spartacus

Apologies, Imperator, I cannot give voice to regret of passing to the soldier who robbed Crixus of life.

The Gaul died on the field of battle! An honor denied Tiberius!

Spartacus

It is not as I had commanded - yet the woman had been rudely treated by his hands, and her arm claimed vengeance.

As manner so moved in memory of my son, and yours towards wife no longer -

Spartacus

Do not think to place your loss upon equal footing! Your son took up arms for the Republic. The same one that tore my wife from grasp, and condemned her to slavery and death.

And now you would lead thousands to join her in futile attempt.

Spartacus

Whatever happens to my people, we decide it. We decide our fates, not you...not the Romans...not even the gods.

You but choose time and place of journey's end.

Spartacus

Better to fall by the sword than by the master's lash.

And will it balm festering wound? If the Bringer of Rain heralds miracle, and defeats Crassus and his legions, will he withdraw from the Republic, content that he's brought those who so injured him to justice?

Spartacus

There is no justice...not in this world.

At last...a thing we agree upon. [They shake hands.]

Spartacus

When we again meet, I will kill you.

No, you're going to try.

Spartacus

That is all a free man can do.

Would you had been born a Roman and stood besides me.

Spartacus

I bless the fates it was not so.
