I can't see why you should blame yourself. I suppose you had a quarrel and she foolishly thought she'd lost you. But no woman destroys herself who isn't already unbalanced.

Quote context

[...]

- Half past 12 or so, she was leaving the theatre with her mother when she said she'd forgotten something and went back to her dressing room. She didn't come down again.

- They found her lying on the floor. She'd swallowed something. By mistake, they say. She died instantaneously.

- It's tragic, of course, but you mustn't let yourself brood over it. You must learn to see it in its proper perspective.

- For the moment you must put it out of your mind, you must come and dine with me. And afterwards we'll look in at the opera. It's Don Giovanni. Everybody'll be there, and you can come to my sister's box.

- So I have murdered Sibyl Vane. As surely as if I'd cut her throat.

- I can't see why you should blame yourself. I suppose you had a quarrel and she foolishly thought she'd lost you. But no woman destroys herself who isn't already unbalanced.

- Where do you keep your sherry?

- If you'd married this girl, you would've been wretched, and so in time would she have been. I assure you, the whole thing would have been an absolute failure.

- I remember your saying once there's a fatality about good resolutions, they're always made too late. Mine certainly were.

- You should look upon this tragedy as an episode in the wonderful spectacle of life.

- What is it that has really happened? Someone has killed herself for love of you. I wish that I'd had such an experience.

Top rated lines from this movie

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.

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.

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.

As I grow old, this picture will remain always young. If it were only the other way. If it were I who was always to be young and the picture that was to grow old.

What did the music mean to you? -I don't know. It is full of emotion. But it's not happy. -No, it's not happy.
