[VON BERG:]They know the disadvantage of me as someone not vulgar enough.
LEDUC: And by vulgar you mean ...
VON BERG: Well, don't you think Nazism ... whatever else it may be ... is an outburst of vulgarity? An ocean of vulgarity?
BAYARD: I'm afraid it's a lot more than that, my friend.
VON BERG: I’m sure it is, yes.
BAYARD: you make it sound like they have bad table manners, that’s all.

There are no persons anymore. Don’t you see that? There will never be persons again. What do I care if you love me?

You didn’t advertise your name in those forbidden books in order to find a reason to leave Paris and save yourself. No, it was in order to get yourself caught. Your heart is conquered territory.

The less you exist the more important it is to
make a clear impression. I can see them
discussing it as a kind of. ...truthfulness. After all,
what is self-restraint, what hypocrisy! If you
despise Jews the most honest thing is to burn
them up and the fact that is costs money and
uses up trains and personnel this only guarantees the integrity, the purity, the existence of their feelings.

Right now it might be the best way to hold on to oneself. It's only that ordinarily one tries to experience life, to be in spirit where one's body is. For some of us it's difficult to shift gears and go into reverse. But that's not a problem for you
BAYARD: You think a man can ever be himself in this society? When millions go hungry and a few live like kings, and whole races are slaves to the stock market

BAYARD: It'snot your mother. The monopolies got control of Germany. Big business is out to make slaves of everyone, that's why you're here. LEBEAU: Well I'm not a philosopher, but I know my mother, and that's why I'm here

BAYARD: In other words,if they had good taste in art, and elegant table manners and let the orchestra play whatever they liked, they’d be alright with you.
VON BERG: but how would that be possible? Can people with respect for art go about hounding Jews?
