Quotes

• “I suppose you imagined I was so insanely in love with you that I could commit any folly. When will you women understand that one isn't insanely in love? All one asks for is a quiet life, which you won't allow one to have. I don't know what the devil ever induced me to marry you. It was all a damned stupid, practical joke. And now you go about saying I'm a murderer. I won't stand it.”
• “Stupidity or reason? Oh, there was no choice now. It was imbecility every time.”
• “I'm afraid of losing my obscurity. Genuineness only thrives in the dark. Like celery.”
• “What the cinema can do better than literature or the spoken drama is to be fantastic.”
• “To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong.”
• “Proverbs are always platitudes until you have personally experienced the truth of them.”
