Quotes

Control Voice: (closing narration) Scarecrows and magic and other fatal fears do not bring people closer together. There is no magic substitute for soft caring and hard work, for self-respect and mutual love. If we can learn this from the mistake these frighten men made, then their mistaken will not have been merely grotesque It would at least have been at least a lesson. A lesson, at last, to be learned. (edit)
Control Voice: (opening narration) Is this the day? Is this the beginning of the end? There is no time to wonder. No time to ask why is it happening, why is it finally happening. There is time only for fear, for the piercing pain of panic. Do we pray? Or do we merely run now and pray later? Will there be a later? Or is this the day? (edit)
