Quotes3

  • Delilah: You love him. Women cannot deceive each other. It is in your face when you look at him. You want him for yourself.
  • Miriam: Yes, I love him. In his face, I see all that is strong and good. His name is like a cry of hope for us. I've dreamed that someday Samson would take me for his wife. But he's never looked upon me as a woman.
  • Delilah: His face... his name... shadows on the wall. You think that is love? You worship him with prayers and downcast eyes. I love him as a man of flesh and blood!
  • Miriam: He is not leaving you for me. There is a higher voice that speaks through him, and he will always answer its call. Even your treacherous beauty cannot turn him from it.
  • Delilah: I cannot fight against his god. But no woman will take him from me.
  • Samson: Miriam, you're further above me than the moon.
  • Miriam: But not as hard to reach. Only stretch out your hand.
  • Samson: I don't want to hurt you, Miriam. You're like a sparrow, so gentle and...
  • Miriam: That's a very gentle way of telling me that you're in love with someone else?
  • Samson: You always see through people as if they were cobwebs.
  • Miriam: I hear you saw a woman in Timnath.
  • Samson: Yes... and I can't forget her.
  • Miriam: You did the same with me. I can't forget you.
  • [Miriam walks to the door]
  • Samson: [approaches Miriam at the door] Miriam.
  • Miriam: I'll always be here.
  • [Miriam closes the door]
  • [last lines]
  • Saul: He was so strong. Why did he have to die?
  • Miriam: His strength will never die, Saul. Men will tell his story for a thousand years.
