From the Screenplay to The Russia House by John Le Carre

Barley Scott Blair: "If there is to be hope, we must all 'betray'[?] our country. We have to save each other because all victims are equal and none is more equal than others. It is everyone's duty to start the avalanche...Listen, nowadays you have to think like a hero just to behave like a merely decent human being."

"The fact that the candidate you're being asked to vote for is at this moment rotting in an English jail shouldn't put you off. Sure I was in one myself until a week ago. They can jail us. They can shoot us. They can conscript us. They can use us as cannon fodder in The Somme. But, but, we have a weapon more powerful than any in the whole arsenal of the British Empire. And that weapon is our refusal. Our refusal to bow to any order but our own; any institution but our own. The Royal Irish Constabulary want to shut me up. Jail me again, shoot me, who knows. But I'd like you to send them a message. If they shut me up, who'll take my place? I Can't hear you. Who'll take my place."

"Upon suffering beyond suffering: the Red Nation shall rise again and it shall be a blessing for a sick world. A world filled with broken promises, selfishness and separations. A world longing for light again. I see a time of Seven Generations when all the colors of mankind will gather under the Sacred Tree of Life and the whole Earth will become one circle again. In that day, there will be those among the Lakota who will carry knowledge and understanding of unity among all living things and the young white ones will come to those of my people and ask for this wisdom. I salute the light within your eyes where the whole Universe dwells. For when you are at that center within you and I am that place within me, we shall be one."
