From The Ghetto: A Drama in Four Acts by Herman Heijermans

female · defiant · 56 sec

Think such things! You say you love me with all your heart--with all your soul. How great is your soul that dares not the anger of a father who is wrong?--a soul that fears poverty, disinheritance, the hatred of the Ghetto? You fear that you would be cast off, that you would suffer want and ridicule, that your father would never feed you and clothe you again; and when that fear comes into your heart what room is left for me? Love! Ugh! Ugh! What is your love! The love of the way that is easiest, the love of the son of honest Sachel--the love of a Jew!
