Lawrence of Arabia Quote

Auda abu Tayi : I am Auda abu Tayi! Does Auda serve?
Howeitat tribesmen : NO!
Auda abu Tayi : Does Auda abu Tayi serve?
Howeitat tribesmen : NO!
Auda abu Tayi : [ to Lawrence ] I carry twenty-three great wounds, all got in battle. Seventy-five men have I killed with my own hands in battle. I scatter, I burn my enemies' tents. I take away their flocks and herds. The Turks pay me a golden treasure, yet I am poor! Because *I* am a river to my people!
