- Porfirio Diaz: The extremists have created the mystic of the people, but the people are worthless. The people are blind and vengeful. If one bothers about the people, what would they do? Where is your conscience?
- Paulo Martins: [shouting] Not for all the gold in the world!
- Porfirio Diaz: They'll learn. They will! I will dominate this land. I will put these hysterical traditions in order! By force, by the love of force! By universal harmony, we will be a civilisation!
- Porfirio Diaz: Democracy is the exercise of the will of the people. We've been elected by the people, so we're representatives of their will.
- Porfirio Diaz: What I cannot explain to my enemies are my reasons for abandoning the pleasures of solitude, for the priesthood of public life. But neither could Christ explain, but by offering His own life. And so, I'd reply to my enemies that Christ gave His life for the people when the exploiters wanted Him to join exolitation itself. He died, but didn't betray! Nor will I, by proclaiming the greatness of man, of Nature, of God!
- Porfirio Diaz: Let's do our historical duty by forcing the President to exterminate Vieira and his agents all over Eldorado.
- Felipe Vieira: The country needs poets. The good ones, the revolutionariew, like the old romantics... Voices that stirred the crowds.
- Alvaro: I can't do nothing to avoid these coming days of darkness. That's why I gave up. That's why I died.
- Porfirio Diaz: God is my emblem! Work is my flag! My destiny is happiness! My principle, purity of character!
- Porfirio Diaz: This sunshine will light our lives. Dawn follows every night. The mornings are never late! The shining mornings, alive, eternal, everlasting, unchanging, infinite!
