Quote context

[...]

- He kept saying, we must compromise, compromise, and don't let me down. I'll die if I don't get my chance.

- Over and over he kept mumbling and mumbling.

- Oh, I'm ashamed of you, both of you.

- No use talking about it now. It's over. We've lost the money.

- And I'm glad, because if Alan had lied on that stand yesterday, he'd always have remembered how easy it is to twist the truth, and how profitable.

- And we'd have violated every principle of right and wrong we've tried to teach him.

- There you go, still compromising. You know I'm right.

- I'm sorry, Mother. I know I was wrong. But when I saw that chance, I... I was carried away.

- Loretta, if it's in you to be a great actress, you'll find a way somehow.

- Others have done it before you. And you'll be all the greater for the struggle.

Top rated lines from this movie

Gee, you all act as though you're glad I got that crack on my head.

There are some things in this world that are more important than money. And truth is one of them.

There are times when we have to make compromises with the truth. You know, give a little, yield a point in order to gain our end. -Like getting your college education and helping your family out.

There's a big difference between a liar and an opportunist. It's not going to mark the boy. It's not going to make a confirmed liar out of him.

Truth is truth, Alan. And there are no two ways about it.
