Hannah Arendt (2012)

Joel Kirby: Lionel Abel

Quotes 

• Lionel Abel : Who does she think she is? Aristotle?

  Mary McCarthy : Unlike all of you, Hannah was actually forced into exile. She was held in a brutal detention camp. Isn't it admirable that she is the only one who can discuss this subject without beating her breast.

  Norman : And why do you think that is? Because she's smarter than people with feelings?

  Mary McCarthy : Well, in your case, Norman, being smarter is easy. She's more courageous than you are.

• William Shawn : You're all treating Hannah Arendt like a suspect in a police court, instead of a respected political thinker.

  Lionel Abel : Please, Bill, no one has attacked Hannah Eichmann's character.
