Quotes
Benjamin
Humans... God's only mistake.
Clarence
Lord forgive them. For they know not what they do.
Benjamin
Oh please. I've got a prayer for you. Dear Heavenly Father, please kill all these people. Fire and brimstone will suffice. But if possible, give them lava. Especially that prick painting me!
Clarence
We are all just men and women. Most of us have no idea what we're doing. By the time we figure it out, it's too late.
Benjamin
I have spent my entire life witnessing the cruelty of man. Those who had plenty did not even spare me one drop of water. I have literally had the clothes lifted from off my back.
Clarence
I have been one of those men. And for that, I am truly, truly sorry. I've been a victim of my own ignorance. That's just it. We need enlightenment. Not punishment.
Benjamin
Well, good luck with that.
