“I've been such a fool, Vassili. Man will always be man. There is no...” – Danilov, Enemy at the Gates ... Movie Quotes Database

A scene from Enemy at the Gates 2001

I've been such a fool, Vassili. Man will always be man. There is no new man. We tried so hard to create a society that was equal, where there'd be nothing to envy your neighbour. But there's always something to envy. A smile, a friendship, something you don't have and want to appropriate. In this world, even a Soviet one, there will always be rich and poor. Rich in gifts, poor in gifts. Rich in love, poor in love.
