I've always loved the old epics that tell a simple emotional story, whether it's the tumultuous relationship between Rhett and Scarlett or Lawrence of Arabia's passion to get lost in a faraway place.
The truth is that exploration and enlargement make the world smaller. The telegraph and the steamboat make the world smaller. The telescope makes the world smaller; it is only the microscope that makes it larger. Before long the world will be cloven ...

That's the premise of the Saudi Arabians. He's holding the president's hand with one. In the other hand, he's got his hand in the pocket of American consumers.

Well, the first thing I wanted to be was a carpenter. Then I wanted to be a painter and then a singer. It was when I first saw 'Lawrence of Arabia' that I wanted to be an actor.
The funny thing is that I'm the girl who no one sees at the beach. Ask anyone who's traveled with me. Normally, I'm in so many layers, I look like Lawrence of Arabia!

Bartender: [after Lawrence enters with a dirty Bedouin] This is a bar for British officers! T.E. Lawrence: That's all right. We're not particular.
Auda abu Tayi: [his last words, to Ali] Being an Arab will be thornier than you suppose, Harith!
Majid: Aurens! Can you pass for an Arab in an Arab town? T.E. Lawrence: If one of you will lend me some dirty clothes.
