The Monuments Men quotes

  • Frank Stokes: You can wipe out an entire generation, you can burn their homes to the ground and somehow they'll still find their way back. But if you destroy their history, you destroy their achievements and it's as if they never existed. That's what Hitler wants and that's exactly what we are fighting for.

  • James Granger: Stop, stop. Stop. I seem to have stepped on a land mine... of some sort.

    Frank Stokes: Why d'you do something like that?

    James Granger: It was a slow day.

    Frank Stokes: Well, I wouldn't move.

    James Granger: I'd like to at some point.
