Quotes 

• Albert Schweitzer : Reverence is a state of mind, not a set of rules. All it requires is everything be done in deep awareness. Good is whatever promotes life. Evil is whatever destroys it. From there you make your own decisions.

• Indiana Jones : You're German.

  Albert Schweitzer : You're perceptive.

  Indiana Jones : Then I'm your prisoner?

  Albert Schweitzer : I'm sorry, I can't accept your surrender. We simply haven't the facilities.

• Albert Schweitzer : [Indy is threatening to blow up the boat and its cargo]  And kindly blow yourself up away from my dock, I need it in one piece.

• Indiana Jones : But... what can you possibly hope to accomplish? This whole continent is festering with disease. What you're doing, is like trying to hold back a tidal wave.

  Albert Schweitzer : I see it more as, ehm, gathering pebbles from a beach. I couldn't carry them all, of course, but I can certainly carry a handful each day. And each pebble I save has value. Well, I saved you, nicht wahr?
