Caligula (film)

"With Tiberius, theres always something to fear."

"At the insistence of the senate and the people of Rome, I accept humbly the highest office of our great republic."

"I have existed from the morning of the world and I shall exist until the last star falls from the night. Although I have taken the form of Gaius Caligula, I am all men as I am no man, and therefore I am a god."

"I am interested in all that is Rome, even down to the length of a toga."

"I am nursing a viper in Romes bosom."

"I am Rome. Wherever I am, Rome is, and there is the senate and the people of Rome."

"If only all Rome had just one neck!"

"As if there ever could be an antidote against Caesar!"

"I made Caligula for the masses, not for a few self-appointed elitists. Besides, every time I read a lousy review I wanted the pleasure of knowing it cost the author $7.50 to write it."

"You see how I have exhausted myself to make your wedding holy. My blessings to you both."

"When Rome was just a city, we were just citizens, known to one another, you see. We were frugal, good, disciplined and dignified. The Romans I rule are not what they were. They lust. They lust for power and pleasure, money, the wives of other men. Oh yes, I am a true moralist, and stern as any Cato. Fate chose me to govern swine. In my old age, I am become a swineherd."

"Caligula is sickening, utterly worthless, shameful trash. If it is not the worst film I have ever seen, that makes it all the more shameful: People with talent allowed themselves to participate in this travesty."
