Gaius Julius Caesar
- Aurelia: If you marry Cinna's daughter you will be identified with the popular party whether you wish or not.
- Caesar: I wish it.
- Aurelia: They are not our people.
- Cousin: You wish to join with farmers and hagglers and beggars?
- Caesar: Our family itself did not exactly drop straight out of Jupiter's ass.
- [Brutus is reading]
- Caesar: Let me see... Plato's laws? Do you read this?
- Marcus Brutus: Yes.
- Caesar: And, what did you think of it?
- Marcus Brutus: Well Plato thinks that democracy is doomed to failure; he thinks that a state should be run by a dictator, a dictator who's become enlightened through experience and learning.
- Caesar: I don't think that your Plato would get on with your Uncle Cato.
- Caesar: [interviewing a prospective tutor for his daughter] Sophistry? Uh, doesn't that mean you know how to tell fancy lies?
- Appolonius: There's great power in ambiguity, sir, but not all men use advantages to wicked ends.
- Caesar: Are you experienced teaching the young?
- Appolonius: Yes, I much prefer it to teaching the old.
- Caesar: Why is that?
- Appolonius: Because they exhibit more wisdom.
