Quotes 

  • Col. J.D.H. Stewart : Why did you let them talk you into this mission?

    Gen. Charles 'Chinese' Gordon : As is well known, I, ah..regard myself as a religious man, yet I belong to no church. I'm an able soldier, yet I abhor armies. I can even add that I've been introduced to hundreds of women, but never married. in other words, no one's ever talked me into anything.

  • Gen. Charles 'Chinese' Gordon : Colonel, what are the chances of my sacking you as my aide?

    Col. J.D.H. Stewart : If any exist, General, please be assured that I'd be the first to point them out to you.

  • Gen. Charles 'Chinese' Gordon : The Mahdi plans to lay siege to Khartoum. Take it by force. To slaughter all the Egyptians - and those Sudanese who haven't accepted him.

    Col. J.D.H. Stewart : [incredulous]  But... there are 35,000 people in Khartoum.

    Gen. Charles 'Chinese' Gordon : Those are his purposes. And I believe him. The man is sincere. He believes utterly in the Divine necessity for what he's doing. How could I have been such a stumbling fool! I'm a man who will question anything, except my own religious convictions. The Mahdi's no different. There's vanity for you! I seem to have suffered from the illusion that I have a monopoly on God.
