The Elephant Man (film)

"I am not an elephant! I am not an animal! I am a human being! I... am... a man!"

"People are frightened by what they don't understand."

"My life is full because I know I am loved."

"Am I a good man? Or a bad man?"

"Life!... is full of surprises. Consider the fate of this creature's poor mother, struck down in the fourth month of her maternal condition by an elephant, a wild elephant. Struck down!... on an uncharted African isle. The result is plain to see... Ladies and gentlemen... The terrible... Elephant... Man!"

"Never. Oh, never. Nothing will die. The stream flows, the wind blows, the cloud fleets, the heart beats. Nothing will die."
