"I have a face that belongs in another century" - Charlton Heston
Having been cast for roles such as Judah Ben-Hur, El Cid, Moses and Michaelangelo, you can see what the late Charlton Heston was driving at with this comment. Heston, of course, had an ear for the quoteable - cf "from my cold, dead hands" - and concluded his third book, In the Arena, with an amalgam of quotes from famous Americans: "I have a dream. I refuse to accept the end of man. I believe he will endure. He will survive. Man is immortal, not because alone of God's creatures he has a voice, but because he has a soul... a spirit capable of compassion... and sacrifice... and endurance. About America and Americans, this is particularly true. It is a fabulous country, where miracles not only happen, they happen all the time. As a nation, we have, perhaps uniquely, a special willness of the heart."
