A Man for All Seasons1966

Director: Fred Zinnemann
A Man for All Seasons is a 1966 film about the life of Sir Thomas More, and his refusal to bend to the will of King Henry VIII. more »


Sir Thomas More:
God made the angels to show Him splendor, as He made animals for innocence and plants for their simplicity. But Man He made to serve Him wittily, in the tangle of his mind. If He suffers us to come to such a case that there is no escaping, then we may stand to our tackle as best we can, and, yes, Meg, then we can clamor like champions, if we have the spittle for it. But it's God's part, not our own, to bring ourselves to such a pass. Our natural business lies in escaping.
