Alone in Berlin Quote
Otto Quangel: What do you think happens to our cards?
Anna Quangel: Why do you want to know?
Otto Quangel: I want to know how people react.
Anna Quangel: Some people will be afraid, probably. Afraid that someone may have watched them pick up the card. Some will, maybe, put them back. Some people will turn them in to a policeman... but, our cards will also be read by them too.
Otto Quangel: Its like with a machine. A little sand in the gears will not stop the machine. But, if a person throws a little more sand and then more, the motor begins to stutter. The assembly line stops. In my mind, I see lots of people throwing sand into the gears.
Anna Quangel: You are a romantic, Otto Quangel.
Otto Quangel: I'm a mechanic.
Anna Quangel: Ya, that too.
