Hotel Savoy QUOTES

1 " They talk about prohibition in America. What can one do in a country such as that?
   'What does one do in America when one is sad - without alcohol?' asks Zwonimir. "

― Joseph Roth , Hotel Savoy

2 " I am alone. My heart beats only for myself. The strikers mean nothing to me. I have nothing in common with the mob, nor with individuals. I am a cold person. In the war I did not feel I was part of my company. We all lay in the same mud and waited for the same death. But I could think only about my own life and death. I would step over corpses and it oftened saddened me that I could feel no pain. "

― Joseph Roth , Hotel Savoy

3 " The windows in the soup kitchen are never opened, and for that reason the aroma of old meals lingers in corners and rises from the table tops - which are never washed - when the steam from the freshly cooked food brings them back to life. "

4 " Ora toda a gente entende sempre palavrões bem arrotados "

― Joseph Roth , Hotel Savoy

5 " I am thankful once again to strip off an old life, as I so often have during these years. I look back upon a soldier, a murderer, a man almost murdered, a man resurrected, a prisoner, a wanderer. "

― Joseph Roth , Hotel Savoy
