Dr. Dozous:
I asked her 'Do you know what a sinner is?' And she answered, 'Certainly, Monsieur. A sinner is one who loves evil'. That's quite a good answer. What pleased me is that she said 'loves', and not 'does'.

Gen. LaSalle:
Do you think I like to slaughter civilians?
Col. Feroud: The Syrians will think so.
Gen. LaSalle: They don't think. They're guerillas, bandits
Col. Feroud: They consider themselves patriots. We French came along with a mandate...
Gen. LaSalle: And they don't like it and they don't trust us. I know all that! And I know how to make them happy, too. Pack up my army and march out.
Col. Feroud: Sir, if I may say so, there is another way. You could send me to see Emir Hassan.
Gen. LaSalle: You never let go of an idea, do you?
Col. Feroud: It still isn't too late to arrange a truce.
Gen. LaSalle: You'd only get your throat cut. You know what a butcher he is.
Col. Feroud: I wonder what they'll call *you* after you execute those hostages.

Gen. LaSalle:
Why don't you say it? Go ahead and say it. This hostage business makes you want to vomit.
Col. Feroud: On the contrary, General, I think it's an excellent idea, as far as it goes. But why shoot only five hostages? Why not ten, or even twenty for every soldier killed? In no time at all, you can have the whole population of Damascus lined up against the walls and you've ended all resistance.
