Quotes 

• Vibio : [to Claudia who's come to watch his flogging]  Ah, mistress, why don't you come closer? It's hard to see blood drawn from that distance.

• Fabiola : Why did you refuse to fight?

  Vibio : Dignity.

  Fabiola : Dignity? What dignity can a slave have?

  Vibio : Same as any man. No man was born wearing chains.

• Fabiola : Marks of the whip are still here. I did it.

  Vibio : Shhh.

  [caress, kiss] 

• Fabiola : You give me your cape. You stay back to defend me. You risked your life to save mine. Why?

  Vibio : Because its my duty - and, of course, my desire.

• Vibio : You order me to work - and I'll work. This is what your father bought me for. But, I will not humiliate myself to make you or your guests laugh.

• Vibio : Sebastian, they can't martyrize us any longer. I can no longer turn the other cheek. We can't let them torture us without reacting. Haven't you suffered enough?

  San Sebastiano : What have I had to suffer? How easy it is to suffer when you know that it may show the way to peace.
