GERMAN PERIOD DRAMA SENTENCE STARTERS (PT. 2 )
I decided to do a continuation of my german period drama starters, so here we go! There are from various sources, mostly “Das Adlon”, “Die Pilgerin” and “Die Dasslers”. Feel free to change pronouns etc. as you need.
“I thought you ought to know it.”
“This is our time, trust me, there’s something in the air.”
“During the day I can forget the war, but by night …”
“Nobody cares about what you really want.”
“They’re just waiting for a sign of weakness.”
“The women in this family are no good.”
“Spare your false gratitude.”
“Have you thought that I’m waiting for you?”
“The thing is certain for me. I have to do this.”
“If you want to know what has become of you - then look into the mirror.”
“Do you even realize in what danger you’ve put us all?”
“To have a free will is like a curse.”
“So I assume you won’t join us?”
“You’re still a family. Not even you can change that.”
“I’ll get you out of here. I promise.”
“You’re a great seducer.”
“I envy you so much for your possibilities.”
“I envy your for your freedom.”
“Who’s not with us is against us. You should deliberate that.”
“I’d hoped to find you here.”
“Do you think we could see each other from time to time?”
“I’m not suitable to be a second wife.”
“You left in a moment when I needed you most.”
“And now you’re afraid to be alone. That’s why you’ve ordered a sherry for me and try to hold my hand?”
“A married woman has many opportunities.”
“You have to be more careful with what you write.”
“What secret would I harbour?”
“I’ve been alone all this time. Without you.”
“And you think I’ll fall in love with you again?”
“The problem is I either write what I believe in or I shut up.”
“You Germans were all innocent.”
“I know you’re not supposed to wish for someone’s death, but … it would be fate then.”
“What kind of person are you?”
“What if I told you something, that would perhaps reflect badly on me?”
“Open your heart to me. Then I can do the same with mine.”
“Can I invite you to a walk these days?”
“You were … so different. I’ve never seen you like this before.”
“If you want to smash my face in now, I wouldn’t take it amiss.”
“Soon it’ll be too late. And then none of this will be of value anymore.”
“Would you stay with me a little longer? Until I’ve fallen asleep?”
“I wish I wouldn’t have to leave you. Not again.”
“Don’t wait until someone gives you this freedom. Freedom that’s bestowed is worth nothing. You have to take it yourself.”
“Go ahead, strike me. That won’t change my mind.”
“You’ve taken your freedom. Just as you’ve always wanted.”
“This life … who’s supposed to understand it?”
“No matter where we end up - We carry our home within us. We create it with every memory, at every place.”
