Among my top several favorite movies. Here's my favorite moments.
"I believe that God made me for a purpose. For China. But he also made me fast! And when I run I feel His pleasure."
Cadogan: There's only one way to resolve the situation. That's for this man to change his mind, and run!
Prince: Don't state the obvious, Cadogan. We have to explore ways in which we can help this young man to reach that decision.
Eric: I'm afraid there are no ways, sir. I won't run on the sabbath, and that's final. I intended to confirm this with Lord Birkenhead tonight, even before you called me up in front of this inquisition of yours.
Cadogan: Don't be impertinent, Liddell.
Eric: The impertinence lies, sir, with those who seek to influence a man to deny his beliefs!
"Thank God for Lindsey. I thought the lad had us beaten."
"He did have us beaten, Effie. And thank God he did."
"I don't quite follow you."
"Well, the 'lad,' as you call him, is a... a true man of principal, and a true athlete. His speed is a mere extension of his life, its force. We sought to sever his running from himself."
"For his country's sake, yes."
"No sake is worth that, Effie. Least of all a guilty national pride."
