Quotes
Edith Bratt:
Things aren't beautiful because of how they sound. They're beautiful because of what they mean.
Goofs
When it is announced that war has broken out, the speaker says it is because Germany had invaded Belgium. That had been front page news and surely the most talked about topic everywhere for a day. He more likely would have said that Germany had ignored the ultimatum to leave Belgium.
