Quotes edit

Seven Beauties (21 January 1976) edit

Dialogues : A New Man ; The scene is a dialogue with Pedro, an anarchist fellow prisoner in the Nazi concentration camp. ; DVD chapter 11, @ 43'34".

Pedro: But soon, very soon, a new man, a new man will be born. He’ll have to be civilized, not this beast who’s been endowed with intelligence and obliterated the harmony in the world and brought about total destruction just by disturbing nature's equilibrium. A new man… able to rediscover the harmony that’s within.
Pasqualino: You mean, put things in order?
Pedro: Order? No, no, the orderly ones are the Germans. No, a new man in disorder is our only hope. A new man… in disorder.
