Movie quotes

  • (..) I had pity for them, but I never loved them. They disgusted me. They are hard to love. The poor disgust us because they are us, shorn of our illusions. They show us what we'd look like without our fine clothes. How'd we smell without perfume. Can I ask you about a personal matter? Of course. (..)
