Elijah Quotes:

  • Ishmael: Ehhhh, you can't fool us; it's the easiest thing in the world for a man to look as if he's got a great secret in him.

    Elijah: I have, lad, I have. At sea one day, you'll smell land where there'll be no land, and on that day Ahab will go to his grave, but he'll rise again within the hour. He will rise and beckon. Then all - all save one shall follow. (Slinking away with a smile on his face) Mornin', lads... mornin'. May the heavens bless you.

  • Thackery Binx: Elijah! Elijah!

    [he runs up to Elijah]

    Thackery Binx: Hast thou seen my sister Emily?

    Elijah: Nay. But look.

    [he points to purple smoke in the sky]

    Elijah: They conjure.

    Thackery Binx: Oh, God. The woods!

    [he and Elijah run towards the field and see Sarah leading Emily into the woods]

    Thackery Binx: Emily!

    Elijah: She's done for.

    Thackery Binx: Not yet! You wake my father. Summon the elders. Go!

    [Elijah races off whie Thackery heads for the woods]

  • Elijah: Once more I ask you, Ahab, which are you bowing to your mind or your heart?

    Elijah: You are more than a man, Ahab. You are king of Israel. How you think, how you act affects a whole nation.
