Quotes
-
Marco Polo : Listen, the carriage they travel in has no wheels! It just stands there, like a warlord's tomb on one end. And another thing... it is not large enough to carry four people.
Tegana : It must be!
Marco Polo : I say it is not, and yet I saw all four walk from it. Upon my sword, I swear it to you!
-
Marco Polo : [writing in his journal] Success - my plan has worked! The strangers and their unusual caravan accompany me to Lop. Our route takes us across the Roof of the World, down to the Kashgar Valley, and south-east to Tarkand. Here, we join the old silk road, along which the commerce and culture of a thousand years has traveled to and from Cathay. I wonder what the strangers' reaction will be when I tell them what I propose to do?
-
Marco Polo : A caravan that flies!... Do you imagine what this will mean to the Khan? It will make him the most powerful ruler the world has ever known; stronger than Hannibal... mightier than Alexander the Great!
