Quotes 

• Jeannette : I hope you don't mind my mending?

  Marny : You know you're the only one who doesn't bore me.

  Jeannette : And yet I never find anything to tell you.

  Marny : One doesn't always have to talk. I feel you close to me and that consoles me.

  Jeannette : About what?

  Marny : About life.

  Jeannette : Just looking at me?

  Marny : Because you're unsophisticated. Because love hasn't put lipstick on you yet.

• Jeannette : Every time I tell you something, it reminds you of a woman.

  Raphaël Saint-Clair : If I were you, I'd find it flattering to evoke so many seductive creatures. Your eyes, a Russian princess. Your mouth, a diplomat's wife who ruined herself for me. Your legs, a dancer. And the whole thing, a delicious woman who killed herself.

  Jeannette : Because of you?

  Raphaël Saint-Clair : No, not because of me, for me.

  Jeannette : And you say it just like that!

  Raphaël Saint-Clair : My child, death scares small annuitants, but it attracts those who are moved by passion.
