Hedy Krilla: Frl. von Kesten

Quotes 

• Frau Oberin : You must reduce expenses, they are too high.

  Fraulein von Kesten : We do our best, Frau Oberin. The children complain they are hungry.

  Frau Oberin : Hungry? We Prussians have always been hungry. They are the daughters of soldiers and, God willing, mothers of soldiers too. What they need is discipline, not a life of luxury.

• Frl. von Kesten : Meinhardis, come here. This is where I enter my good and bad marks. If I ever find something forbidden in your closet, then you get a bad mark. And if you have more than five bad marks in four weeks, you won't get your day out. So, watch out!

• Frl. von Kesten : Line up for prayers! Forward! Closer! Closer! Forward! Forward! Closer! Line up on the left.

• Frl. von Bernburg : We must be a home for the children. Their mothers.

  Oberin des Stifts : We are a facility. There is no room for affinities. That only leads to infatuation.

  Frl. von Kesten : Always love. Discipline is our focus.
