“- Mr. Lowenstein: I work for Oskar Schindler!
- First S.S. Guard: Essential worker for Oskar Schindler.
- Mr. Lowenstein: Yes!
- Second S.S. Guard: A one-armed Jew. Twice as useless.”They won't soon forget the name "Oskar Schindler" around here. "Oskar Schindler", they'll say, "everybody remembers him. He did something extraordinary. He did what no one else did. He came with nothing, a suitcase, and built a bankrupt company into a major manufactory. And left with a steamer trunk, two steamer trunks, of money. All the riches... (continue)(continue reading)
“- Amon Goeth: I have to find every rag buried up here and burn it. The party's over, Oskar. They're closing us down, sending everybody to Auschwitz.
- Oskar Schindler: When?
- Amon Goeth: I don't know. As soon as I can arrange the shipments, maybe thirty, forty days. That ought to be fun.”“Six hundred years ago, when elsewhere they were footing the blame for the Black Death, Casimir the Great - so called - told the Jews they could come to Krakow. They came. They trundled their belongings into the city. They settled. They took hold. They prospered in business, science, education, the arts. They came with nothing. And they...” (continue)(continue reading)
“- Itzhak Stern: Let me understand. They put up all the money. I do all the work. What, if you don't mind my asking, would you do?
- Oskar Schindler: I'd make sure it's known the company's in business. I'd see that it had a certain panache. That's what I'm good at. Not the work, not the work... the presentation.”“- Reiter: I'm a graduate of Civil Engineering from the University of Milan.
- Amon Goeth: Ah, an educated Jew... like Karl Marx himself. Unterscharfuehrer!”“- Oskar Schindler: In every business I tried, I can see now, it wasn't me that failed. Something was missing. Even if I'd known what it was, there's nothing I could have done about it because you can't create this thing. And it makes all the difference in the world between success and failure.
- Emilie Schindler: Luck?
- Oskar Schindler: War.”“- Oskar Schindler: Better this month than last?
- Itzhak Stern: Yes.
- Oskar Schindler: Any reason to think next month will be worse?
- Itzhak Stern: The war could end.”“- Amon Goeth: You want these people?
- Oskar Schindler: These people. My people. I want my people.
- Amon Goeth: Who are you? Moses?”“He won't shoot you because he enjoys you too much. He enjoys you so much he won't even let you wear the star. He doesn't want anyone to know it's a Jew he's enjoying. He shot the woman from the steps because she meant nothing to him. She was just one of a series neither offending him or pleasing him.”
“- Itzhak Stern: Oskar, there are eleven hundred people who are alive because of you. Look at them.
- Oskar Schindler: If I'd made more money... I threw away so much money. You have no idea. If I'd just...
- Itzhak Stern: There will be generations because of what you did.
- Oskar Schindler: I didn't do enough!”“This list... is an absolute good. The list is life. All around its margins lies the gulf.”
“Power is when we have every justification to kill, and we don't.”
It's Hebrew, it's from the Talmud. It says, "Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire".
“- Oskar Schindler: Look, all you have to do is tell me what it's worth to you. What's a person worth to you?
- Amon Goeth: No, no, no, No. What's one worth to you!”“- Oskar Schindler: That's what the Emperor said. A man steals something, he's brought in before the Emperor, he throws himself down on the ground. He begs for his life, he knows he's going to die. And the Emperor... pardons him. This worthless man, he lets him go.
- Amon Goeth: I think you are drunk.
- Oskar Schindler: That's power, Amon. That...” (continue)(continue reading)“- Itzhak Stern: By law I have to tell you, sir, I'm a Jew.
- Oskar Schindler: Well, I'm a German, so there we are.”“- Oskar Schindler: I lost a worker. I expect to be compensated.

- Oskar Schindler: Would it do any good?
- Rolf Czurda: Of course not.”“- Amon Goeth: Shoot her.
- Reiter: Herr Kommandant! I'm only trying to do my job!
- Amon Goeth: Ja, I'm doing mine.”“- Itzhak Stern: How many cigarettes have you smoked tonight?
