Wladyslaw Szpilman: "What are you reading?"
Henryk Szpilman: "'If you prick us, do we not bleed? It you tickle us, we we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?'"
Wladyslaw Szpilman: [seeing that he reads Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice] "Very appropriate."

"I told her not to worry, you had your papers on you. If you'd been hit by a bomb, they'd have known where to take you."

"Ah, more Jewish police. You mean you want me to beat up Jews and catch the Gestapo spirit? I see."

Henryk: "They don't give a damn about people suffering."
Wladyslaw: "And you blame me for their apathy, right?"
Henryk: "I do, because I see it everyday. They don't even notice what's going on around them."
Father: "I blame the Americans."
Wladyslaw: "For what, for my tie?"

Wladyslaw: "They bombed us, we're off the air."
Henryk: "Warsaw's not the only radio station."

Wladyslaw: "It's too small. There's 400,000 of us in Warsaw."
Henryk: "No, there's 360,000. So it will be easy."

Henryk Szpilman: "I thought you only recruited boys with rich fathers. Look at my father, look at us."
Itzak Heller: "Yes, I'm looking at you, and that's why I'm here. Your whole family can have a better life. You want to go on struggling for survival, selling books on the street?"
Henryk Szpilman: "Yes, please."
