Quotes

Monsignor Ryan : Shocked? Why should I be shocked? I've known a good many cases of marriages between races in my time, and strangely enough, they usually work out quite well. I don't know why. Maybe because it requires some special quality of effort, more consideration and compassion than most marriages seem to generate these days.
-
Monsignor Ryan : Oh... well, in that case you'll actually *need* me. Otherwise your side won't even outnumber the blacks!
-
Monsignor Ryan : That's very interesting, very interesting indeed, and rather amusing too, to see a broken down old phony liberal come face to face with his principles. Of course I always have believed that in that fighting liberal façade, there must be some sort of reactionary bigot, trying to get out.

Matt Drayton : Are you really capable of putting yourself in my position? Unless you've got some kids of your own, hidden away somewhere, that haven't shown up in the record, how could you possibly know how a father would feel in a situation like this? You don't know. I happen to believe, I happen to know, they wouldn't have a dog's chance, not in this country, not in the whole stinking world.
Monsignor Ryan : They are this country, Matt. They'll change this stinking world.
Matt Drayton : Yeah, sure, sure, fifty years, maybe, or a hundred years, but not in your lifetime, maybe not even in mine.
