Popular Dialogues

"Else Meertens: Do you think that we Hollanders who threw the sea out of our country will let the Germans have it? Better the sea."

"[as RAF bombers approach] Jo de Vries: You see. That's what you're doing for us. Can you hear them running for shelter? Can you understand what that means to all the occupied countries? To enslaved people, having it drummed into their ears that the Germans are masters of the Earth. Seeing those masters running for shelter. Seeing them crouching under tables. And hearing that steady hum night after night. That noise which is oil for the burning fire in our hearts."
