Quotes3

  • Petra the Maid: And then the summer night smiled for the third time.
  • Frid the Groom: [to the audience] For the sad, the depressed, the sleepless, the confused, the frightened, the lonely.
  • Frid the Groom: We invoke love, call out to it, beg for it, cry for it, try to mimic it. We think we own it and tell lies about it.
  • Petra the Maid: But we don't have it.
  • Frid the Groom: No my sugar pie. We are denied the love of loving. We don't have the gift.
  • Petra the Maid: Nor the punishment.
  • Anne Egerman: Nearly everything that is fun is not virtuous.
  • Petra the Maid: If so, hurrah for vice.
