Quotes
Sir Ernest Shackleton: My job now is to make sure you all live. Every single one of you. To do that, I cannot afford to be sentimental. If I am, you will die -- die frozen, die starving, die mad. I've seen it before; I do not intend to see it again.

Henry McNish: Why do you stay out here, in the middle of bloody nowhere?
Share this
Jacobsen: There is no possibility to reach the bay at the moment. You must wait here for warmer weather.
