Quotes 

• Baron Otto von Albrecht : Do not let these alarm you, Mr. Paladin. When I am on a horse, its legs become mine. I rode before I walked.

  Paladin : Well, other men had first to crawl.

  Baron Otto von Albrecht : You are a paradox, Sir Paladin. A gentleman knight who risks lance and life for people he dislikes or even hates to get enough money to pamper his expensive tastes. At the very best or least, my dear Paladin, you are a spiritual assassin.

  Paladin : You do take advantage of your years, old man.

  Baron Otto von Albrecht : I take every advantage. And why not? I am the creation of all the von Albrechts who ever lived. In a sense, I am 600 years old. Six centuries of breeding and tradition.

  Paladin : Well, when the meek finally do inherit the earth, my very strong conviction is that none of your bloodline will flow in the veins of the property owners. Excuse me.

• Baron Otto von Albrecht : When he was very young, he was a quiet boy. 600 years for this! The hope of a great name, destroyed. Dead in the dirt of a strange land. Now, I am the very last of the von Albrechts. Do you understand what I am saying?

  Paladin : Well may the children weep before you. They know the grief of man without its wisdom. They sink in man's dispair without its calm.

  Baron Otto von Albrecht : Whose fault Paladin?

  Paladin : That's a question each man will have to answer for himself.

• Paladin : [to his two lady friends with whom Paladin is playing chess]  You know, it's a very good thing that nature did not give you as much brains as she did beauty, because then you would both be geniuses.

• [First lines] 

  Paladin : These people are not peasants! They take their living from a very hard, a very demanding land.
