The Right to Live (1935)

C. Aubrey Smith: Major Licondra

Quotes 

• Major Licondra : Every woman is entitled to her tears if she wants them. It's about the only luxury she doesn't have to pay for.

• Maurice : You know, it's a funny thing about flying, but danger's the last thing you think about when you get used to it. Being up there is the most *natural* thing in the world. I often feel I don't want to come down.

  Major Licondra : Something exhilarating about looking death in the eye, eh.

  Maurice : After all, what if you do smash?

  Stella Trent : Darling! Mustn't say such things.

  Maurice : I know, I know. Still, it's just as well to face things. Death isn't really important, is it, Major?

  Major Licondra : You got that in India, I suppose.

  Maurice : I wonder. You know, there's not much religion lying about nowadays for us chaps to hang on to. I often have a feeling about it.

  Stella Trent : About death?

  Maurice : Yes. This shell we live in. Why, it's like a house you pay rent on. You move in, stay for awhile, then move out again.

  Stella Trent : Oh, how morbid. Let's talk about something else.
