No Arab loves the desert. We love water and green trees. There is nothing in the desert and no man needs nothing.
Lawrence, only two kinds of creature get fun in the desert: Bedouins and gods, and you're neither. Take it from me, for ordinary men, it's a burning, fiery furnace
Nothing is written unless they write it.
A man who tells lies, like me, merely hides the truth. But a man who tells half-lies has forgotten where he put it.
You answered without saying anything. That's politics
Young men make wars, and the virtues of war are the virtues of young men – courage and hope for the future. Then old men make the peace.

想像一下,當你看到一望無際的沙漠那一瞬間 ...... 該配上什麼音樂?點播這裡面的 Overture ,大概就八九不離十了,1961 年時導演 David Lean 對這部電影寄以厚望對配樂當然不能馬虎,想不到 David Lean 連找了五個高知名度的音樂家 William Walton, Malcolm Arnold, Benjamin Britton, 俄籍的 Aram Khachaturian, 美籍的 Richard Rogers 不是拒絕接手或無瑕幫忙就是做不出 David Lean 所要的感覺。最後充當消防隊的年輕法國青年 Maurice Jarre (1924 ~ 2009) 臨時接獲重任,戲劇化的在五個星期內做出如此不朽配樂,除了機運之外 Maurice Jarre 本身的音樂天賦也不容小歔。

話說在 1980 年之前是沒什麼電子音樂的,這種大場面大格局的音樂通常需要管弦樂團演奏, 這片由英國著名的 Philharmonic Orchestra 在 1989 年演出。
