What is Best in Life?

Mongol General: We have won again. That is good! But what is best in life?

Mongol Warrior: The open steppe, fleet horse, falcon on your wrist, wind in your hair!

Mongol General: Wrong! Conan, what is best in life?

Conan: To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women!

Mongol General: That is good.

This is one of my favorite scenes from any movie. "Conan: The Barbarian" from 1982; The "Governator's" movie career was just getting rolling and he was in his prime. "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women" is indeed good. In fact, I may watch that tonight just for the heck of it. "Do you want to live forever?"
