Roman quotes from Pope John Paul II

Roman

[being taken away by the Germans] I'm proud to be Polish! I'm just as proud to be Jewish!

Karol Wojtyła

Roman!

Pope John Paul II

Friendship is one of God's greatest gifts. A rare place where the truth is spoken.

Roman

Then you and I must speak just the way we used to. Plain and simple.

Pope John Paul II

Plain and simple?

Roman

All right. Well like, I have many friends in Jerusalem who ask "when will you recognise the states of Israel?"

Pope John Paul II

Plain and simple.

Roman

Forgive me, Karol. I know, sometimes I can be a little appraisive--

Pope John Paul II

[stops Roman] That day, when you stood on the back of the Nazi truck, a gun at your back. [tearfully] You gave me the gift of your courage, and I will never forget it.

Roman

Uncle Karol.

Pope John Paul II

[sickly] I am too old to be an uncle.

Roman

God bless you for all you have done on this earth.
