About This Quote
Killian O'Brien is the main character in the film The Count of Monte Cristo. He is a prisoner (along with his friend Edmond Dantes) who prays aloud to God to take away one of his limbs to spare him from his cruel prison. This prayer is not carried out, but after his escape, he tells Edmond “I know you are the Count of Monte Cristo, but I also know that if your head lies apart from your body, you are no use to anybody.” This quote demonstrates the importance of using your mind instead of your emotions when making important decisions.
