Orson Wells great cuckoo clock speach

Harry Lime, played by Orson Wells, justifies his evil in the film The Third Man, set in post war Vienna. He states that  the greatest works of art, inventions and cultural leaps have come out of the most tyrannous of times. The example, Switzerland, had never gone to war, had only invented the cuckoo clock.
