The Highlander's War Prize Quotes

“Judge me, and you judge yourself. I take what is my due as a warrior. It is in our nature to force, to brutalise, to overcome the weak. We are bred for it. What is one woman’s disgust against that? Don’t you know by now that it is the lambs who go to slaughter, not the wolves?”

‘I said wash, Giselle. I’ll not share my bed with a filthy woman who stinks of wine.’
‘I am sure that’s just the kind of woman men like you, prefer.”
