Quotes 

• Arnold Toynbee : The world has changed. Everything's connected. What has happened will happen again. For better or worse. History now moves in a spiral. These men are trying to force Germany down. But it cannot be done without terrible tragedy. Push Germany down and you'll pay a price. And one day it will once more rise to the top. But this lot are behaving like men with no memories. Those that forget the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it.

• Arnold Toynbee : Mr. Jones, the war you've just fought in, which your friends died in, in ten in twenty years we will fight over again.

• T.E. Lawrence : Arnold, Henry, have you heard? The German delegation is arriving

  Arnold Toynbee : Well what in the worlds taken them so long?

  T.E. Lawrence : A classic piece of French diplomacy. They stopped them at the border, then they took them on a long slow train journey through the worst parts of the battlefields. The ruin, destruction they made them look at all of them.

• Arnold Toynbee : Isn't victory beastly?

• Arnold Toynbee : Yes... this idea of a commission?

  T.E. Lawrence : Oh, who cares about a tuppenny ha'penny commission?

  Indiana Jones : The President does.
