Top rated lines from this movie

A dream, all a dream, that ends in nothing, and leaves the sleeper where he lay down, but I wish you to know that you inspired it.

For you and for any dear to you, I would do anything. Remember sometimes. Remember that there is a man who would give his life to keep a life you love beside you.

Don't be afraid. I'll never refer to this again, only in the hour of my death I shall hold sacred this one good remembrance that my last avowal of myself was made to you, and that my name and faults, and miseries were gently carried in your heart.

All day, tumbrils go through the streets, feeding the guillotine, and at its foot, splashed with blood, sit the women knitting late into the night, counting dropping heads.

I neither want any thanks or merit any. It was nothing to do in the first place, and I don't know why I did it in the second.
