Quote context

[...]

- 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.

- The women who have admired me, and there have been some, have insisted on living on long after I have ceased to care for them or they to care for me. They've become stout and tedious. And when I meet them, they go in at once for reminiscences.

- That awful memory of woman. Drink this, it'll make you feel better.

- I found myself sitting next to such a woman the other night at diner.

- She had once proposed to sacrifice the whole world for me. That's always a dreadful moment. Fills one with the terror of eternity.

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.
