The Last Samurai Quotes
Katsumoto: "I have introduced myself. You have introduced yourself. This is a very good conversation."
Katsumoto: "You believe a man can change his destiny?"
Algren: "I think a man does what he can, until his destiny is revealed."
Algren: "There was once a battle at a place called Thermopylae, where three hundred brave Greeks held off a Persian army of a million men... a million, you understand this number?"
Katsumoto: "I understand this number."
Katsumoto: "What happened to the warriors at Thermopylae?"
Algren: "Dead to the last man."
Algren: [narrating] "They are an intriguing people. From the moment they wake they devote themselves to the perfection of whatever they pursue. I have never seem such discipline. I am surprised to learn that the word Samurai means, 'to serve', and that Katsumoto believes his rebellion to be in the service of the Emperor."
Algren: [narrating] "Winter, 1877. What does it mean to be Samurai? To devote yourself utterly to a set of moral principles. To seek a stillness of your mind. And to master the way of the sword."
Algren: [narrating] "Spring, 1877. This marks the longest I've stayed in one place since I left the farm at 17. There is so much here I will never understand. I've never been a church going man, and what I've seen on the field of battle has led me to question God's purpose. But there is indeed something spiritual in this place. And though it may forever be obscure to me, I cannot but be aware of its power. I do know that it is here that I've known my first untroubled sleep in many years."
Algren: "This is Katsumoto's sword. He would have wanted you to have it. He hoped with his dying breath that you would remember his ancestors who held this sword, and what they died for. May the strength of the Samurai be with you always."
Algren: "Your highness... if you believe me to be your enemy, command me, and I will gladly take my life".
I think seriously that I have to learn this one below.
Nobutada: [after Algren is defeated in fencing pratice] "Please forgive; too many mind."
Algren: [puzzeled] "Too many mind?"
Nobutada: "Hai, mind the sword, mind the people watch, mind enemy - -too many mind." [seriously]
Nobutada: "No mind."
Algren: [pretending getting it ] "No mind." [returns to training only to be defeated yet again, much to the laughter of Nobutada and his cousin]
Katsumoto: "You do not have to die here."
Algren: "I should have died so many time before."
