Quotes10

  • David: Why do they hate us so much Johannes?
  • Johannes: Because it's easy to hate people who don't believe the same things you do.
  • David: Is that what I look like?
  • Sophie: To me, yes. That's my impression of you. That's why it's called impressionistic painting. So... What do you see when you look at it.
  • David: Me.
  • Sophie: Yes, that's not quite what I meant. You have to look at paintings diffently from the way you look at other things. More closely and see what it says to you.
  • [pause]
  • Sophie: Well... when I look at the boy in that painting, I see a very intelligent, very serious person, and a good person, but - there's something about the eyes and the face that seems lost and sad. But that's as far as I can see, because he doesn't want to let the world see any further.
  • David: Do you really see all that?
  • Sophie: [laughs] Yes. Yes, I do.
  • David: [holding Sopie's cat] She's so soft. And she's vibrating.
  • Sophie: She's purring, David.
  • David: I wish I were dead!
  • Johannes: Don't say that. Don't even think it.
  • David: Why not? There's nothing good here! What's the point of even staying alive?
  • Johannes: Because if you're alive you can change things. If you're dead you can't. Do whatever you can to stay alive, no matter what! Go.
  • David: Why do people do such terrible things?
  • Sophie: Like what?
  • David: Like beat people, and kill them, and make them prisoners.
  • Sophie: Most people don't do that, David.
  • David: My friend Johannes always used to tell me, "Trust no one."
  • Sophie: Oh, life wouldn't be worth living if you did that, David.
  • David: Johannes, I want to escape. You said that if we weren't dead we could change things. But how do you know they're going to let us live?
  • Johannes: We don't.
  • David: Then we should leave while we still can.
  • David: Please... don't turn me in.
  • Sophie: Turn you in to whom?
  • David: To them. To him. To anyone.
  • Sophie: I wouldn't dream of turning you in to anybody, for any reason. You're quite safe here, David. You're safe.
  • David: From the guards?
  • Sophie: From everybody.
  • David: Did I just smile at you?
  • Maria: Yes. How come?
  • David: I don't know.
  • Maria: Is it because you think I look funny?
  • David: No.
  • Maria: Then... maybe you love me.
  • Sophie: You've got a very interesting face. Would you mind if I painted it?
  • David: What color do you want to paint my face?
  • [last lines]
  • David: [arriving] I'm David.
  • David's Mother: I know.
  • [gentle hug]
