The Scoundrel (1935)

Eduardo Ciannelli: Maurice Stern

Quotes 

• Maurice Stern : Pity - that most vile of virtues - has never been known to you.

• Maurice Stern : Why be naïve, darling. Mallare is not a man. He's an education. He isn't part of life. He's something in print - a sort of humorless superior smirk of adjectives. You make the mistake of loving him instead of admiring him.
