Quotes 

• Kublai Khan : You are a Taoist monk. Permitted to eat meat, drink wine, enjoy a woman. Yet you have never taken a wife.

  Hundred Eyes : I devoted my life to the service of the Great Khan and his empire. I only have so much time on this earth. I have never taken a wife because I do my best to avoid disappointment.

• Hundred Eyes : [his advice rejected]  You do not listen, do you?

  Kublai Khan : Oh, I do listen. Then I hear what I want to.

• Hundred Eyes : I fear your mind has followed your body into bondage.

  Marco Polo : You do not believe in the cause?

  Hundred Eyes : What one chooses to believe in and what one is compelled to believe in, there is a difference.
