Quotes 

• Father Gapon : [after the events of Bloody Sunday]  He didn't come. He never came. Nicholas, the murderer. The bloody, bloody murderer.

• Father Gapon : The czar is here in Petersburg to bless the troops. He's staying at the Winter Palace. Thousands of us will march there on Sunday morning. I'll go to him on the balcony and read this.

  [holds up a paper] 

  Father Gapon : "Sire, we working men and inhabitants of St. Petersburg come to you, Sire, to seek for truth, justice and protection. Only you can hear our prayers. And if you do not, we shall die here on this square before your palace."

• Petya : I want to kill somebody. They come here sometimes, the other factory workers, and they tell us that we should burn things down, make bombs. Well, I want to fight back once.

  Father Gapon : All violence begets is violence. They'll beat you. There's a better way. We are going to see the czar.

  Sonya : You know what they say, Father. "God is too high, and the czar's too far away."
