Quotes

Frau Oberin : You must reduce expenses, they are too high.
Fraulein von Kesten : We do our best, Frau Oberin. The children complain they are hungry.
Frau Oberin : Hungry? We Prussians have always been hungry. They are the daughters of soldiers and, God willing, mothers of soldiers too. What they need is discipline, not a life of luxury.
