Quotes2

  • Richard: I am here to learn something concrete, Magnus. It's about science, not about emotions.
  • Magnus Hirschfeld: Why can't the one have something to do with the other? Like our friendship for example. Is it perverted?
  • Richard: No. Love is a noble quality. Sexual perversion is not.
  • Magnus Hirschfeld: Ah, and why not?
  • Richard: It is not normal. It serves no natural purpose.
  • Magnus Hirschfeld: And what purpose does love serve?
  • Richard: It is one of the highest idals of our German culture. And sexual intercourse is surely not a part of.
  • Magnus Hirschfeld: Writing off is not either.
  • Richard: What do you mean by that?
  • Magnus Hirschfeld: That love can be explored in multiple ways. One let themselves bred, the others copy the homework. What is the difference?
  • Magnus Hirschfeld: [being in a gay bar while two men kiss] That two men can be so gentle to each other, why is this against the law.
  • Polizeipräsident: Mr. Doctor, I really have enough of this.
  • Magnus Hirschfeld: What is it?
  • Polizeipräsident: Everything is clean here. Nobody is rubbing each other between the legs. Nobody spits on the floor. Nothing but nice, friendly people.
  • Magnus Hirschfeld: What's wrong with that?
  • Polizeipräsident: I wanna see Sodom and Gomorrah.
  • Magnus Hirschfeld: This is reality, Mr. Police president. These people are people, nothing more.
