Quote of the day by Lena Headey comes from her role as Queen Gorgo in the 2006 historical action film 300. The line connects freedom with sacrifice and asks viewers to consider the human cost behind rights, safety and independence. The quote reads: “Freedom isn’t free at all, that it comes with the highest of costs. The cost of blood.” The line is spoken by Queen Gorgo while she tries to gain support from the Spartan council for King Leonidas and the men who are preparing to fight. The scene places the idea of freedom within a discussion about war, duty and sacrifice.
