"Every
minute I stay in this room I get weaker. And every minute Charlie squats
in the bush he gets stronger."
(Captain Willard)
"Out there with these natives
it must be temptation to be God. 'Cause there's a conflict in every human
heart between the rational, the irrational, between good and evil. And
good does not always triumph." (General Corman)
"Every man has a breaking point.
You and I have. Walt Kurtz has reached his and obviously he has gone insane."
(General Corman )
"We must kill them. We must incinerate
them. Pig after pig, cow after cow, village after village, army after army.

the assasin? " (Colonel Kurtz)
"I'm not going ! I'm not going !" (A soldier)
"Never get out of the boat. Absolutely god damn right. Unless you were going all the way. Kurtz got off the boat. He split from the whole fuckin' program." (Captain Willard)
"We train young men to drop fire
on people. But their commanders won't allow them to write fuck on their
airplanes because it's obscene!" (Colonel Kurtz)
"It was the way we had over here
of living with ourselves. We'd cut them in half with a machine gun and

"Do
you know what the man is saying? Do you? This is dialectics. It's very
simple dialectics. One through nine, no maybes, no supposes, no fractions.
You can't travel in space, you can't go out into space, you know, without,
like, you know, with fractions. What are you going to land on, one quarter,
three-eighths, what are you going to do when you go from here to Venus
or something -- that's dialectic physics, OK? Dialectic logic is there's
only love and hate, you either love somebody or you hate them."
