Benedict Cumberbatch: Benjamin
Quotes
-
Benjamin : Humans... God's only mistake.
Clarence : Lord forgive them. For they know not what they do.
Benjamin : Oh please. I've got a prayer for you. Dear Heavenly Father, please kill all these people. Fire and brimstone will suffice. But if possible, give them lava. Especially that prick painting me!
Clarence : We are all just men and women. Most of us have no idea what we're doing. By the time we figure it out, it's too late.
Benjamin : I have spent my entire life witnessing the cruelty of man. Those who had plenty did not even spare me one drop of water. I have literally had the clothes lifted from off my back.
Clarence : I have been one of those men. And for that, I am truly, truly sorry. I've been a victim of my own ignorance. That's just it. We need enlightenment. Not punishment.
Benjamin : Well, good luck with that.
