Quotes 

• Murray Logan : "Why should we listen to the Oracles of Apollo and to the screaming of the birds above our heads? For they would have it that I am doomed to kill my father."

  Christine Bonner : [claps]  Dr. Arraman. Bravo!

  Murray Logan : Hello. How long have you been there?

  Dr. Arraman : I've heard Oedipus many times. But, never in the way I did just now. It's not every day that one sees an English intellectual, performing Greek tragedy, translated by an Irish poet.

• Christine Bonner : Will you tell Sam what I've told you; that he's driven me away with his never-ending goodness and care.

• Murray Logan : If you did leave... what would you do?

  Christine Bonner : I don't know. I'd lead my own life. It might be short; but, it would be a life.

• Christine Bonner : My mother always told me - I was incapable of love. I don't believe that!

• Christine Bonner : I don't know anything about you; except, what Sam's told me.

  Murray Logan : What did Sam tell you?

  Christine Bonner : How much everyone liked you. That you're regarded as the conscience of Atlantic House. That you used to write and had a novel published at twenty-four.

  Murray Logan : Twenty-five, actually. It was Wuthering Heights in the Aegean. Pretty bad. The trouble was, at the time, I didn't know anything about love or desperation.

• Murray Logan : After a time, one learns not to feel, to retreat. You find a way to go on living.

  Christine Bonner : Is that enough - just to go on living?

• Christine Bonner : I hope you don't mind, my calling you Sybil.

  Sybil Logan : Why should I?

  Christine Bonner : Murray and I already call each other by our first names. It doesn't take long in America.

  Sybil Logan : No, nothing does, I'm told.

• Christine Bonner : Sybil, look at this.

  Sybil Logan : Oh, let me enjoy my thriller. I'm at a very sexy page.

• Sybil Logan : Murray, I'm not very hungry.

  Murray Logan : Sybil, we arranged this...

  Christine Bonner : Sybil, please - it's nice by the water.

  Sybil Logan : I'm going back to the hotel. I'm not romantic - like you and Christine. I'm sick of smells and art and crowds. Any objections?

• Murray Logan : How long do you think we can go on like this? Is it possible? Feeling about you, the way I do. I've said it.

  Christine Bonner : We both said it - from the beginning.

• Christine Bonner : Why is it that every place we see, seems to be the most beautiful? Or, is is it just my imagination?

  Murray Logan : A little of both. It is the most beautiful - if you chose to see it that way.

• Murray Logan : [toasting]  What to now?

  Christine Bonner : To - to the end of our journey - the happy end.
