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.
