SteinerDon't be like me. Salvation doesn't lie within four walls. I'm too serious to be a dilettante and too much a dabbler to be a professional. Even the most miserable life is better than a sheltered existence in an organized society where everything is calculated and perfected.

Marcello Rubini[to Sylvia]You are everything... everything! You are the first woman on the first day of creation. You are mother, sister, lover, friend, angel, devil, earth, home.

SteinerWe must get beyond passions, like a great work of art. In such miraculous harmony. We should love each other outside of time... detached.

Marcello Rubini[to Emma]A man who agrees to live like this is a finished man, he's nothing but a worm! I don't believe in your aggressive, sticky, maternal love! I don't want it, I have no use for it! This isn't love, it's brutalization!

TravestitoBy 1965 there'll be total depravity. How squalid everything will be.
SylviaI like lots of things. But there are three things I like most: love, love, and love.

Laura[to Marcello]Stay free, available, like me. Never get married. Never choose. Even in love, it's better to be chosen.

Marcello RubiniI'm wasting time. I won't manage anything anymore. Once I had ambitions, but maybe I'm losing everything. I forgot everything.

Emma[to Paparazzo]How can you be this way? It's not possible to be like you! Hyenas! You're worse than hyenas! You don't respect anyone! You make me sick! Cowards!
