Dr. Eck
- Dr. Eck: Martin Luther! Do you think you are the only one who knows the truth?
- Martin Luther: I will tell you what I think. I have the right to believe freely. To be a slave to no man's authority. To confess what appears to me to be true whether it is proved or disapproved, whether it is spoken by Catholic or by heritic.
- Dr. Eck: Then you deny the authority of the pope!
- Martin Luther: In matters of faith, I think that neither council, nor pope, nor any man has power over my conscience. And where they disagree with scripture, I deny pope and council and all. A simple layman armed with scripture is greater than the mightiest pope without it.
- Dr. Eck: Heresy, Doctor Luther! Heresy!
- Martin Luther: Heresy? So be it. It is still the truth!
