The key scene in this black and white film is the interaction between a lone government picketer / protester outside the White House and a police officer. The officer addresses the protester, telling the man that he alone would not be able to change the world.
The man responds (paraphrasing) “I understand that…but I am able to stop the world from changing me.”
Help!!
“The Hoodlum Priest”(1961)
Quote from the movie….
“You’re not going to change the world by carrying around that sign, buddy.”
“I’m not trying to change the world. I’m trying to keep the world from changing me.”
