Quote context

[...]

- That's what I told General Eisenhower. But he believes that somehow your knowledge of the peoples of North Africa will help smooth the way for our troops.

- I think I see what you mean.

- Then you see more than I do.

- I don't know what the general had in mind, but he told us to let you think it over and to ask you for a recommendation in twenty-four hours.

- You see, we haven't much time.

- He took the time.

- He checked his notes, remembered his talks with Africans and the history of native tribes whose thirst for freedom was as keen as his own.

- Then he returned to the Office of Strategic Services.

- Gentlemen, I'm not a military man.

- That goes without saying.

- What do you consider strategically necessary for the success of the invasion?

- I consider that the most necessary thing for the American army to learn, before they invade North Africa, is something about the African people.

- I'd suggest we teach each soldier something of the history and nature of the people whose land he'll be living on.

Top rated lines from this movie

All right now, girl, stand aside. Least a woman can do is to keep out of the way of those who're busy. Let the moving men by.

I learned that no women can live free and equal by standing silently by while huge sections of the human race were slandered and made second-class citizens.

The kid left her and went back to me, the trumpet, and blew until his cheeks ached and his lips cracked and split, but he kept on.

You're the one who can make the trumpet talk... and tell the truth.

I believe that once one accepts discrimination against another, he's preparing the way for his own slavery. I intend to remain free.
