The Journey (1959)

Jason Robards: Paul Kedes

Quotes 

• Paul Kedes : What does an honest man do in a dishonest situation?

• Capt. Ornikidze : I am here for statement.

  Paul Kedes : I know! But I'm not going to give it to you! The one thing you can't take away from me is the privilege of saying no. You don't understand that, do you? Well, if you could make a tour of your jails, you'd find men stinking like garbage, crawling in their own muck. But there is a holiness about them that comes from their having the guts to say no. Understand? No!

• Paul Kedes : For heaven's sake, why are you wasting your time, doctor? Do I need a health certificate before I'm allowed to be shot?

• Paul Kedes : The things you do to weaken us only give us strength to survive and anger. Yes, anger. Deep, dark anger. Anger that used to be love until you and your kind made it curdle and turned it into hate. That's the one thing I'll never forgive you for: making us hate! Hate like the hatred of a young man in jail who wrote a song with his own blood.

• Paul Kedes : If you're a woman and you let him touch you, your body will rot from his kiss.
