Corin Quotes in Conan the Barbarian (2011)

Corin: What is most important when making a sword, fire or ice?

Young Conan: Fire.

[Corin looks at Young Conan with some disbelief]

Young Conan: [pause] ... Ice?

Corin: Are you sure?

[pause; then Corin strikes the anvil with a newly-forged sword which breaks]

Corin: Fire... and ice. That is the mystery of steel.

Corin: When a Cimmerian feels thirst, it is a thirst for blood. When he feels cold, it is the cold edge of steel. For the courage of a Cimmerian is tempered: he neither fears death... nor rushes foolishly to meet it. To be a Cimmerian warrior, you must have both cunning and balance as well as speed and strength.

Corin: [Corin has just put an egg in each of the student's mouths, except Young Conan's, in preparation for a test] The first to circle the hills and return, the egg unbroken, earns the right to fight with the warriors.

[Sends the students on the way as a Young Conan is looking disappointed]

Corin: Oh, by Crom, boy. What are you waiting for?

[Gives Young Conan an egg as he rushes on his way]

[last lines]

Corin: [Conan remembering his father's words] The sword we make will be yours one day. But before you wield it, you must first understand it.

Corin: [as he practices with Conan] You're still all fire, boy...

[as Conan charges him]

Corin: No! Slow down! Find your footing.

Corin: [to Conan] You're not ready for this sword.
