Movie Quotes with Marlon Brando
Quote from The Godfather:

Don Vito Corleone Marlon Brando
Quote from The Godfather:
"It's an old habit. I spent my whole life trying not to be careless. Women and children can afford to be careless, but not men."
Don Vito Corleone Marlon Brando
Quote from Superman Returns:
"Live as one of them, Kal-El, to discover where your strength and your power are needed. Always hold in your heart the pride of your special heritage. They can be a great people, Kal-El, they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all, their capacity for good, I have sent them you... my only son."
Jor-El Marlon Brando
Quote from The Godfather:
'I understand. You found paradise in America. You had a good trade, you made a good living. The police protected you and there were courts of law. So you didn't need a friend like me. Now you come and say 'Don Corleone, give me justice'. But you don't ask with respect. You don't offer friendship. You don't even think to call me 'Godfather'. You come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married and you ask me to do murder - for money."
Don Vito Corleone Marlon Brando
Quote from The Godfather:
"You talk about vengeance. Is vengeance going to bring your son back to you, or my boy to me? I forgo the vengeance of my son. But I have selfish reasons. My youngest son was forced to leave this country because of this Sollozzo business. All right, now I have to make arrangements to bring him back here safely cleared of all these false charges. But I'm a superstitious man, and if some unlucky accident should befall him... if he should be shot in the head by a police officer, or if he should hang himself in his jail cell, or if he's struck by a bolt of lightning, then I'm going to blame some of the people in this room, and that I do not forgive. But, that aside, let me say that I swear, on the souls of my grandchildren, that I will not be the one to break the peace we have made here today."
Don Vito Corleone Marlon Brando
Quote from The Godfather:
"Listen, whoever comes to you with this Barzini meeting, he's the traitor. Don't forget that."
Don Vito Corleone Marlon Brando
Quote from Apocalypse Now:
"We train young men to drop fire on people, but their commanders won't allow them to write 'fuck' on their airplanes because it's obscene!"
Colonel Walter E. Kurtz Marlon Brando
Quote from Apocalypse Now:
"I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream; that's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight razor... and surviving."
Colonel Walter E. Kurtz Marlon Brando
