- Valerie: I have seen the collapse of government after government, and they all think they can last a thousand years. Each new one always declares the last one criminal and corrupt, and always promises a future of justice and freedom.
- Valerie: [talking to Ivan Sors] I left your grandfather once. I fell in love with another man. Your grandfather and I hadn't been getting along. He wasn't the sort of person I hoped he'd be. The other man was passionate, a wonderful lover. That is important, darling. He gave me an old medallion engraved with: "I love you."
- Valerie: When your grandfather get in trouble with the Communists, I came back. You must try to find joy in your life.
- Emmanuel Sonnenschein: [groans] There's too much salt in this soup.

- Valerie: What do you mean by that, Gustave?

- Emmanuel Sonnenschein: Please don't cry, Rose. I beg you
- [talking to Ignatz]
