Stein : I do not trust a man who does not respect money.

Stein : You must face the truth.
Lord Jim : Truth? What is the truth? I've been a so-called coward and a so-called hero, and there's not the thickness of a piece off paper between them. Maybe cowards and heroes are just ordinary men, who for just a split second do something that is out of the ordinary. That's all.
-
Stein : If you want to be an idealist, you must also be tolerant.

Stein : Even for the cleanest mouth, words are a poor security.
-
Stein : Sometimes, from a good intention comes evil, if God wills it so.
