Quote context

[...]

- The snow was very plentiful and crumbs were very few when a weather-beaten sparrow through a mansion window flew.

- Her eye fell on a golden cage, a sweet love song she heard sung by a pet canary there, a handsome yellow bird.

- He said to her, Miss Sparrow I've been struck by Cupid's arrow, will you share my cage with me?

- She looked up at his castle with its ribbon and its tassel...

- And in plaintive tones said she...

- Goodbye, little yellow bird, I'd rather brave the cold on a leafless tree than a prisoner be in a cage of gold.

- I'd gladly introduce you, sir, but she's proud. She won't meet anybody.

- Come, my delightful dove. Descend and make a pilgrimage with me among these mortals.

- The spoiled and petted yellow bird could scarce believe it true that a common sparrow should refuse a bird with blood so blue.

- He told her the advantages of riches and of gold. She answered that her liberty for gold could not be sold.

Top rated lines from this movie

If only the picture could change, and I could be always what I am now. For that I would give everything. Yes, there's nothing in the whole world I would not give. I would give my soul for that.
Time is jealous of you, Mr. Gray. Don't squander the gold of your days. Live. Let nothing be lost upon you. Be afraid of nothing. There is such a little time that your youth will last and you can never get it back.
The world is yours for a season. It would be tragic if you realized too late as so many others do that there is only one thing in the world worth having, and that is youth.
I hope you're not going to talk about anything serious. Nothing is serious nowadays. At least nothing should be.
One of the great secrets of life. Most people die of a sort of creeping common sense and discover too late that the only things one never regrets are one's mistakes.
