I love my mother. My mother made sure, her stubbornness - she made sure we was going to eat. She made sure we had Christmases. That was my mother. My father wasn't there for that.

In the tech world, you can reel off great products in several ways. You can have the once-in-a-lifetime gut instincts of a Steve Jobs. You can have the brainiac coding skills of a Bill Gates, Larry Page, or Sergey Brin. Or, I learned, you can have the deep intellectual curiosity and stubbornness of a Jeff Bezos.

Bernie Sanders is making a big and potentially dangerous mistake with his continuing insistence on changes to the Democratic Party's rules and platform. I should know. As chairman of Al Gore's 2000 presidential campaign, I understand too well where such ideological stubbornness can lead.

[Aragorn readies to take the Paths of the Dead. He leads his horse towards the entrance and passes by Gimli, who stops him]
Gimli: Where do you think you're going?
Aragorn: Not this time, Gimli. This time you must stay.
[Legolas walks up to them, leading his horse]
Legolas: Have you learned nothing of the stubbornness

of Dwarves?
Gimli: You may as well accept it. We're going with you, laddy.

Hiccup: [about Berk's dragon problem] Most people would leave. Not us. We're Vikings. We... have stubbornness issues.

Lt. Colonel Hal Moore: I can hear you laughing you know.
Julie Moore: I'm not laughing, I'm marveling.
Lt. Colonel Hal Moore: At what?

Moses: Rameses? Rameses?
Rameses: [sarcastic] Oh, let me guess - you want me to... let your people go?
Moses: I hoped I would find you here.
Rameses: Get out!
[throws his wine glass on the floor]
Moses: Rameses, we must bring this to an end. Rameses, please, talk to me. We could

always talk here.
Moses: [sighs] This place - so many memories. I remember the time you switched the heads of the Gods in the temple of Ra.
[Moses sighs and starts to leave, until Rameses speaks]
Rameses: If I recall correctly, you were there switching heads right along with me.
Moses: No, it was you, I didn't do that.


Rameses: Oh, yes, you did. You put the hippo on the crocodile, and the crocodile on the...
Moses: [remembering] ... on the falcon.
Rameses: Yes. And the priests thought it was a horrible omen and fasted for two months! Father was furious! You were always getting me into trouble!
[he starts to walk away, then sighs]

Rameses: But then,
[he laughs]
Rameses: you were always there to get me out of trouble again. Hmmph. Why can't things be the way they were before?
Rameses Son: Father? It's so dark. I'm frightened. Why is he here? Isn't that the man who did all this?
Rameses: Yes, but one must wonder, why?

Moses: Because no kingdom should be made on the backs of slaves. Rameses, your stubbornness is bringing this misery upon Egypt. It would cease if only you would let the Hebrews go.
Rameses: I will not be dictated to. I will not be threatened. I am the morning and evening star. I am Pharaoh!
Moses: Something else is coming, something

much worse than anything before. Please, let go of your contempt for life before it destroys everything you hold dear. Think of your son!
Rameses: I do. You Hebrews have been nothing but trouble. My father had the right idea of how to deal with your people.
Moses: Rameses...
Rameses: And I think it's time I finished the job!


Moses: Rameses!
Rameses: And there shall be a great cry in all of Egypt, such as there never has been or ever will be again!
Moses: Rameses, you bring this upon yourself.
