& Seligman: Wagner, Das Rheingold. The descent into Nibelheim... Was it that bad?
Joe: Try to imagine that in one fell swoop, you lost all desire to read and all your passion for books and letters.
Seligman: I don’t even know if I can imagine that.
& Seligman: There’s nothing sexual about me. It’s not as uncommon as you would think. And of course, I’ve read a lot about sexual subjects: Canterbury Tales, Decameron, Thousand and One Nights... You name it and I’ve read it with great interest and enjoyment, but only literary enjoyment. But I... But I think maybe it makes me a better listener to your story, and I have no preconceived notions or preferences. I’m actually the best judge you could give your story to. And when it comes to deciding whether you’re a bad human being or not, I’m... I’ve no problems with that. Because I don’t look at you through the glasses coloured by sexuality or sexual experience. I’m a virgin. I’m innocent.
& Seligman: You shouldn’t use that word. It’s not what you call politically correct.
Joe: ’Negro’... Well, excuse me, but in my circles, it’s always been a mark of honour to call a spade a spade. Each time a word becomes prohibited, you remove a stone from the democratic foundation. Society demonstrates its impotence in the face of a concrete problem by removing words from the language.
Seligman: I think society would claim that... that politically correctness is a very precise expression of democratic concern for minorities.
Joe: And I say that society is as cowardly as the people in it — who in my opinion are also too stupid for democracy.
& Joe: I have no doubt in the human qualities. The human qualities can be expressed in one word: hypocrisy. We elevate those who say right but mean wrong and mock those who say wrong but mean right.
& Joe: You don’t even know my name!
K: I’m not interested in your name. Here, your name is... Fido.
& Seligman: You know, I occupy myself mostly with texts, but sometimes the text can seem so... so empty, so unfathomably empty. It could be the best text by the most famous author. The solution might be to change your point of view.
Joe: I don’t get that.
Seligman: Things hide when they become familiar. But if you look at it from another angle, they might take on a new meaning.
& Joe: Sexuality is the strongest force in human beings. To be born with a forbidden sexuality must be agonizing. The paedophile, who manages to get through life with the shame of his desire while never acting on it, deserves a bloody medal.
& Father: It’s actually the souls of the tress that we see in the winter.
Joe: I think they look like human souls.
Father: Yeah, you’re right. They do look like human souls. Twisted souls, regular souls, crazy souls, all depending on the kind of lives human beings lead.
& Joe: The question [is] whether jealousy is the fear of sharing or the fear of losing...
& Joe: It’s said to be difficult to take someone’s life. I would’ve said that it’s more difficult not to. For a human being, killing is the most natural thing in the world. We’re created for it.
