Khartoum Quotes:
The Mahdi:
It is sometimes wise, Gordon Pasha, to provide the man with a few sunny hours of fraudulent hope so that when night comes he will have a more perfect inward vision of the truth of his hopelessness.
Narrator:
...but there is this: A world with no room for the Gordons, is a world that will return to the sands.
Col. J.D.H. Stewart:
Why did you let them talk you into this mission?
Gen. Charles 'Chinese' Gordon: As is well know, I, ah..regard myself as a religious man, yet I belong to no church. I'm an able soldier yet I abhor armies. I can even add that I've been introduced to hundreds of women but never married. in other words no one's ever talked me into anything.

The Mahdi:
[in horror: seeing Gordon's decapitated head on the end of a pole] Take it away! Where is Abdullah? I forbade it, I forbade it!
William Gladstone:
I don't trust any man who consults God before he consults me.
