Quotes 

• Amalia Brentani : Is she beautiful?

  Emilio Brentani : Yes, beautiful. Very beautiful, refined. A girl of the people, but without any vulgarity. She has a healthy, spontaneous joy. She could be more astute, but she's like a child. With a huge desire to live.

  Amalia Brentani : Is she honest?

  Emilio Brentani : Yes, very honest. Too much so.

• Amalia Brentani : Be careful, Emilio. Don't do anything stupid, please.

  Emilio Brentani : Come on, Amalia. Can't I flirt with a girl? She's a pretty girl. I like her.

• Emilio Brentani : You seem quite free.

  Angiolina Zarri : In what way?

  Emilio Brentani : Your parents aren't always with you, watching you. You can go out when you want, right?

• [first lines] 

  Emilio Brentani : I really like you. But I don't want you to compromise yourself for me.

• Emilio Brentani : At almost 40 years old, I found myself with a desire for pleasure and love, and the bitterness of not having enjoyed either. This encounter promised to be a short and easy adventure. Like those I had heard and read about, but never experienced myself.

• Emilio Brentani : Although blind, all my life I acted the part of one who could see.

• Emilio Brentani : I not only lack money, but courage. That's why I've never married.

• Angiolina Zarri : This is the first time you've walked with me in the street.

  Emilio Brentani : Why do you look at everybody so?

  Angiolina Zarri : Eyes are meant for seeing, eh?

• Emilio Brentani : Poor Angiolina! You're truly honest. You have so little cunning. It'd be better to be less honest and more cunning. In exchange for the love I received, I decided to educate her, to teach her to know life and the art of taking advantage of it.

• Angiolina Zarri : Oh, my teacher, so serious! What a sourpuss!

  Emilio Brentani : I'm not a sourpuss. I'm sad. I know I have no right. Make fun of me, too! You're absolutely correct. It's not like we're sleeping together.

  Angiolina Zarri : Keep your voice down! Do you have to say that? It's not an easy thing. If I do it once, it's for always.

• Emilio Brentani : You were already lost in your mother's womb.

• Stefano Balli : What can't I do?

  Amalia Brentani : I bet every woman falls in love with him!

  Emilio Brentani : Amalia, please.

  Amalia Brentani : Just think how many things they must have done!

  Emilio Brentani : Amalia, please.

  Stefano Balli : Orgies! Every night!
