"The Sheik" Quotes

Love is a wonderful thing. It is more precious than emeralds and dearer than fine opals. Pearls and pomegranates cannot buy it, nor is it set forth in the market-place. It may not be purchased of the merchants, nor can it be weighed out in the balance for gold.

I am thinking of you. I am thinking of you all the time. In the morning and in the twilight, in the watchfulness of the night and the joy of the day, when I see a sunset or a sleeping child, or a mother gently smiling into the eyes of her babe, I think of you.

You are mine! Mine, do you hear? I shall come to Algeria - I shall find you out. I shall claim you - as I claimed you before. I shall come to take you away with me - to the Sahara - to the desert. I love you, you little fool - love you as I love nothing else in the world - as I love no one else on earth!

It is true that I am not a man of your race and creed. But I am a man of my own race and creed - a man of the desert. I am what I am - a man who, when he sees what he wants, takes it with both hands until it is his.

I have the power to make you happy or miserable - to make you raise your lips to mine or turn away from me in coldness. I have the power to make you feel the thrill of love or the sting of its whip. I have the power to make you mine, so that no other man shall ever possess you. Do you understand?

I am a man of the desert, and in the desert men are strong. I will not be defied by a woman - or by any woman. I will have my will, and my way, and no one shall oppose me and live.

The desert is a harsh and unforgiving place. It can strip a man of his soul, leaving him empty and alone. But it can also reveal the true strength and resilience within a person.

In the desert, there is no room for weakness. It is a place where only the strong survive.
