Bruno Ganz movie quotes

“That was an order! Steiner's assault was an order! Who do you think you are to dare disobey an order I give? So this is what it has come to! The military has been lying to me. Everybody has been lying to me, even the SS! Our generals are just a bunch of contemptible, disloyal cowards.”
Bruno Ganz - Adolf Hitler

“- Franz Jägerstätter: I don't know everything. A man may do wrong, and he can't get out of it to make his life clear. Maybe he'd like to go back, but he can't. But I have this feeling inside me, that I can't do what I believe is wrong.
- Judge Lueben: Do you have a right to do this?
- Franz Jägerstätter: Do I have a right not to?”
August Diehl - Franz Jägerstätter
Bruno Ganz - Judge Lueben

Matt Dillon - Jack
Bruno Ganz - Verge

“- Verge: Why are they always so stupid?
- Jack: Who's stupid?
- Verge: All the women you killed, strike me as seriously unintelligent.

Matt Dillon - Jack
Bruno Ganz - Verge

“- Jack: Are you allowed to speak along the way? I was thinking there might be rules.

Matt Dillon - Jack
Bruno Ganz - Verge

“- Rodney Cole: You had time after I called you. Why didn't you run?
- Ernst Jürgen: Where should I run from Section 15, Mr. Cole? I can hardly walk. Before we could get Chesterfields, I smoked 60 Machorkas a day. Filthy Soviet things. Killed more Russians than Stalin. My doctors assure me I'll soon be joining their list of casualties.”
Frank Langella - Rodney Cole
Bruno Ganz - Ernst Jürgen

“To partake of the stone's endless destiny, is that not the meaning of adornment? To enhance the beauty of the beloved is to acknowledge both her frailty and the nobility of that frailty. At our noblest, we announce to the darkness that we will not be diminished by the brevity of our lives.”

- Diamond Dealer: She is probably more courageous than you imagine.”
Michael Fassbender - Counselor
Bruno Ganz - Diamond Dealer

Michael Mendl - General Weidling
Bruno Ganz - Adolf Hitler
