Schindler’s List

 Steven Spielberg
 

Important Quotations Explained

 
1. Stern:   “. . . The Jews themselves receive nothing. Poles you pay wages. Generally they get a little more. Are you listening? . . . The Jewish worker's salary, you pay it directly to the SS, not to the worker. He gets nothing.”
Schindler:   “But it's less. It's less than what I would pay a Pole. . . . Poles cost more. Why should I hire Poles?”
 
 
2. Stern:   “The list is an absolute good. The list is life. All around its margins lies the gulf.”
 
 
3. Goeth:   “Is this the face of a rat? Are these the eyes of a rat? 'Hath not a Jew eyes?' I feel for you, Helen. No, I don't think so. . . . You nearly talked me into it, didn't you?”
 
 
4. Hoss:   “I have a shipment coming in tomorrow. I'll cut you three hundred units from it. New ones. It's yours. These are fresh. The train comes, We turn it around. It's yours.”
Schindler:   “Yes. I understand. I want these.”
Hoss:   “You shouldn't get stuck on names. That's right. It creates a lot of paperwork.”
 
 
5. Stern:   “Whoever saves one life saves the world entire.”
