“I am Solomon Northup. I am a free man; a resident of Saratoga, New York. The residence also of my wife and children who are equally free. I have papers. You have no right whatsoever to detain me... and I promise you, upon my liberation, I will have satisfaction for this wrong.”
Chiwetel Ejiofor - Solomon Northup

“We were engineered as slave laborers. It was our only means of pleasure allowed! The harder you worked the more you got, the more you got the harder you worked. Thousands of my people died, I lost my best friend. It is a nightmare! I will not let it happen again.”

“- Spartacus: All men lose when they die and all men die. But a slave and a free man lose different things.
- Tigranes Levantus: They both lose life.
- Spartacus: When a free man dies, he loses the pleasure of life. A slave loses his pain. Death is the only freedom a slave knows. That's why he's not afraid of it. That's why we'll win.”
Kirk Douglas - Spartacus
Herbert Lom - Tigranes Levantus

“I'm going back to Russia where I will stay until Terek Murad rots in prison or in the grave.”

Sir Sidney Poitier - Preston
