Charlton Heston (October 4, 1923 – April 5, 2008) was an American Academy Award-winning film actor. Heston was known for playing heroic roles, such as Moses in The Ten Commandments, Colonel George Taylor in Planet of the Apes and Judah Ben-Hur in Ben-Hur. Early in his career, he was one of a handful of Hollywood actors to publicly speak out against racism and was active in the civil rights movement. During the latter part of his movie career, he starred in films such as The Omega Man and Soylent Green, which have a strong environmental message. He was president of the National Rifle Association from 1998 to 2003. Here are some of the things he said:
| | “It's been quite a ride.” |
| | “For an actor, there is no greater loss than the loss of his audience,” |
| | “suffering symptoms consistent with Alzheimer's disease.” |
| | “Go forth and proclaim liberty throughout all the land, unto all the inhabitants thereof.” |
| | “You who inherit the heavy privilege to serve in freedom's name. You who must brace for battle surely to come.” |
| | “I think we make a difference together. We are a freer people than if we hadn't fought this good fight,” |
| | “It's been quite a ride. I loved every minute of it.” |
| | “The trouble with movies as a business is that it's an art, and the trouble with movies as art is that it's a business.” |
| | “I've played three presidents, three saints and two geniuses - and that's probably enough for any man” |
| | “So that this nation may long endure, I urge you to follow in the hallowed footsteps of the great disobedience of history that freed exiles, founded religions, defeated tyrants, and yes, in the hands of an aroused rabble in arms and a few great men,” |
