With a grain of salt. A brave man may fall but he cannot yield. To err is human. The wolf may change his skin but not his nature. Truth is mighty and will prevail. External actions show internal secrets. Remember when life's path is steep to keep your mind even. The loss that is not known is no loss at all. Heavy thunder. With a grain of salt. A brave man may fall but he cannot yield. By fruit, not by leaves, judge a tree. A madman believes all others mad. Who repents from sinning is almost innocent.

Werdegast You told Karen I had been killed...I mean you always wanted her. In the days at Salzburg before the war, always from the first time you saw her...You wanted Karen and induced her to go to America with you. I traced the two of you there, and to Spain, and to South America and finally here. Where is she?
Poelzig Vitus, you are mad!
Poelzig And this was the entrance to the gun turrets. Don't you recognize it?
Werdegast I can still sense death in the air.
Poelzig There is still death in the air. It is just as much undermined [with dynamite] today as ever. And this is the old chart room for the long-range guns. The guns are gone, but the charts are still here.
Werdegast Karen is dead.
Joan No! I mean Karen, your daughter. Madame Poelzig.
Werdegast What do you mean?
Joan She's alive, here in this house! She's Poelzig's wife!
