The Cremator Quotes

  • Kopfrkingl: My dear children... do not fear cremation.

  • [last lines]

    Kopfrkingl: I'll save them all... the whole world.

  • Kopfrkingl: The flames, my sweet, will not hurt you.

  • [first lines]

    Kopfrkingl: My sweet. This is the blessed spot where we met 17 years ago. Only the leopard is new. Kind nature long ago relieved the other of his shackles. You see, dear, I keep talking of nature's benevolence, of merciful fate, of the kindness of God. We judge and criticize others, rebuke them. But what about ourselves? I always have the feeling that I do so little for you.
