o bárbaro

do 1º conan, palavras de um rei acerca da filha que se perdia, pedindo ao bárbaro e amigos que a salvassem, em troca de tudo:

"there is a time, thief, when the jewels cease to sparkle, when gold loses it's luster, when the throne room becomes a prison, and all there is left is a father's love for his child".

mais tarde, valeria, a menina guerreira dele (conan), diz-lhe:

"i never had so much as now, all my life i've been alone (...) you and i, we got warm, that's hard to find in this world".

a civilização evoluiu, mas continua a ter as mesmas fragilidades.
