Quotes 

• Joe : When it comes my turn, will you want me to go?

  Father : For democracy, any man would give his only begotten son.

• Father : He eats through a tube. And whatever comes in through a tube has to go out through a tube. He is the armless, legless wonder of the twentieth century. And yet, by God, he's just as alive as you and me.

• Father : You're gonna make the world safe for democracy!

  Joe Age 10 : What is democracy?

  Father : Well it's never bright clear on myself. Like any other kind government it's got something to do with young men killing each other I believe.

• Father : Put your arms around me. I need to feel their warmth, to keep the chill of death away.
