Quotes 

  • Fernando : Tell us, Ingles, why have you come so far to fight for our Republic?

    Robert Jordan : A man fights for what he believes in, Fernando.

    Fernando : Well, but, in his own country.

    Robert Jordan : Well, maybe you feel that I'm sticking my nose into other people's business. But, I don't feel that way. It's not only Spain fighting here, is it? It's Germany and Italy on one side and Russia on the the other. And the Spanish people right in the middle of it all. The Nazis and Fascists are just as much against democracy as they are against the communists. And they're using your country as a proving ground for their new war machinery. Their tanks and dive bombers and stuff like that. So they can get the jump on the democracies and knock off England and France and my country before we get armed and ready to fight.

  • Fernando : Were you always a Republican? And was your father?

    Robert Jordan : Sure. Voted the Republican ticket all his life.

    Fernando : Did they shoot him for it?

    Robert Jordan : No. No, they don't shoot you for being a Republican in America.
