Quimbo: I bet I've read every word ever written about you. Custer: Too bad I can't say the same.
Uvalde: Colonel, you ain't in charge of this fort now. Your brass don't mean nothing around here now.
Custer (to Nora): A soldier learns to live with the sudden possibility of death.
Nora (about Fire Cloud): How do you expect to learn what that savage has in his mind? Custer: I plan to ask him.
Quimbo: Can you be truly unaware that the hand that holds the pen is the hand who rules the world? Custer: I've been only too painfully aware of that, Mr. Quimbo. On more than one occasion.
Quimbo: I always thought to a redskin life is cheaper than dirt. Custer: You shouldn't believe everything you write, Mr. Quimbo. The Sioux is a deadly fighter but he loves life the same as you or I.
Custer (to Nora about Uvalde): His life means as much to him as ours does to us.
Nora: You're not afraid of death? Custer: I've lived too long with it to be afraid of it.
