Movie quotes

  • (..) memory I'll wipe away all trivial fond records All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past, that youth and observation copied there And thy commandment all alone shall live within the book and volume of my brain... ...unmixed with baser matter. Yes, yes, by heaven Oh most pernicious woman. (..)
