Quote context

[...]

- Young women, as a rule, do not know the man they're going to marry. But it is rare that a girl marries a man who doesn't know himself.

- But what more should I know about him? I know that Stenos is handsome and kind. What else matters?

- Oh dear, I look so ugly today. Suppose he doesn't like me this way. And suppose as we stand at the altar I should see a shadow of a doubt in his eyes. I couldn't bear such a thing. I want him to see me.

- Nausicaa, you cannot. You must not see him now.

- Father, it's such an old and stupid custom, keeping lovers apart from each other on their wedding day.

- And what is the use of having a king for a father if you cannot have him change a custom only this one time, for your daughter?

- Look, I won't go alone. Please, Attile, come. Come along with me.

- Very well, go along. Accompany her.

(Nausicaa laughing) Hurry!

- Stenos! Stenos? Where is he?

- There is no Neptune out there. There's nothing but wind, water and death.

Top rated lines from this movie

But even so, this vulnerable mass of fears has dared to battle with a god, and has not yet been defeated.

Six months? Has it been that long? Seems like a single summer's evening.

You witch! While I slept you turned a band of heroes into swine. -It was much easier to do than you think.

Fear is making you forget your empty stomach.

Headstrong mortal, proud of that short dream which you call a lifetime, enamored of your weaknesses and your miserable sins, and fascinated by death.
