| Quotes |
Admiral Nelson:
Alvarez, are you saying - that man must accept destruction even though it's in his power to avert it? Alvarez: It's not for us to judge, Admiral. Freeze! Admiral Nelson: Not to judge, maybe, but we can reason. If God ordains that man should die without a fight, then why does he give us the will to live? See more » |
