Robert Bolt

Death comes for us all. Even for kings he comes.

It profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world... but for Wales!

When a man takes an oath... hes holding his own self in his own hands. Like water. And if he opens his fingers then he neednt hope to find himself again.

Even at our birth, death does but stand aside a little. And every day he looks towards us and muses somewhat to himself whether that day or the next he will draw nigh.

Good marriages are made in heaven. Or some such place.

Morality's not practical. Morality's a gesture. A complicated gesture learned from books.

The law is not a "light" for you or any man to see by; the law is not an instrument of any kind. The law is a causeway upon which so long as he keeps to it a citizen may walk safely.
