Paul Lukas Quotes:

Kurt Muller: [in response to an Italian man on the train asking what he does] I fight against fascism. That is my trade.


Gus Hoffman: [looking at pictures on the wall] A blind man can see how many boyfruiends she had. Evidently the water tasted good, so she jumped down the well.

It must appear to be a defense of Americanism. But at the same time, our aim must always be to discredit conditions there in the United Sates. And in this way make life in Germany admired and wished for. Racial and religious hatred must be fostered on the basis of American-Aryanism. Classism must be encouraged in a way that the labor and the middle classes will become confused and antagonistic. In the ensuing chaos, we will be able to take control.
