“War.”

September 12, 2011 By: Colin Low Category: Picture Posts

Schindler: There’s no way I could have known this before, but there was always something missing. In every business I tried, I can see now it wasn’t me that had failed. Something was missing. Even if I’d known what it was, there’s nothing I could have done about it, because you can’t create this thing. And it makes all the difference in the world between success and failure.

Emilie: Luck?

Schindler: War.

Schindler’s List (1993)

Valmont: Now, yes or no? It is up to you, of course. I will merely confine myself to remarking that a “no” will be regarded as a declaration of war. A single word is all that is required.

Merteuil: All right.

Merteuil: War.

Dangerous Liaisons (1988)

How do you prefer your “War”?

  • With Liam Neeson’s suave amorality in Schindler’s List
  • With Glenn Close’s vindictive divadom in Dangerous Liaisons
