Daughter of the Mind (1969 TV Movie)

Frank Maxwell: General Augstadt

Quotes 

• Dr. Alex Lauder : General, if we were in my office I could get from my files a list of distinguished scientists, philosophers, statesmen, even generals who are willing to admit the possibility of communicating with the dead.

  Gen. Augstedt : Oh, someone's communicating with Professor Constable alright. Somebody from the other side alright. The other side in the Cold War. They're experts at defection and subversions, They use prostitutes, kidnapping, homosexuals, blackmail, phony morality, religion. Doesn't surprise me a bit that they'd use a decent man's grief and guilt over the death of his daughter.

• Gen. Augstedt : I can assure you, Dr. Lauder, that the dead are dead and can't talk to the living.

  Dr. Alex Lauder : Well, I forget the name of the man who assured Galileo that the sun definitely revolved around the earth, but I'm certain he had no doubts either.
