Quotation

President Truman: Michelangelo made it [the Bruges Madonna] right? And you lost a man trying to save it.- Donald Jeffries. You think it was worth it, for a piece of art? Do you think Jeffries would say it was worth it, if he could speak? Lieutenant: I think he would. Truman: All right then, how about you, lieutenant? You were in charge, and this gets to the heart of the matter. Do you think 30 years from now, anyone's going to remember that these men died for a piece of art? Lieutenant: Yeah.
