How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Schindler's List.
Quote #1
[The film opens with a scene of a Jewish family lighting the Sabbath candles and saying the traditional blessing.]
This scene establishes the film as a story about Jews, and tells us that people were still observing their traditions in the face of war.
Quote #2
GOLDBERG: It's illegal to buy or sell anything on the street. We don't do that. We're here to pray.
The line is actually a bit of a joke, since it's uttered by a Jewish man in a Catholic Church. But it demonstrates how this character is willing to bend the conventions of religion in order to find a way to survive in very brutal circumstances.
Quote #3
JEWISH WOMAN: Do you know the saying, "An hour of life is still life?" You are not a boy anymore. I'm saying a blessing for you.
This is a very spiritual moment, and the fact that it occurs within the midst of a massacre is very telling. Even here, the woman's faith helps her comfort the boy.
