Caroline Ducey in Romance (1999)

Quotes

Romance

Edit
  • Marie: They say a man who fucks a woman honours her.
  • Marie: Why do the men who disgust us understand us much better than those who attract us and who we love?
  • Marie: Love is bloody stupid. It's a question of power. A guy you're faithful to 'cause you love him, won't fuck you anymore. Betray him and he'll start fucking you again. It's as simple as that. Not because they suspect we might be unfaithful, but because they understand that we're escaping out of their reach.
  • Marie: Love between men and women - one cannot stress it often enough - is a treacherous battle.
  • Marie: Porn is nothing more than curing one's libido with its depiction. But what one doesn't permit for oneself, one can't allow in a picture either. The very moment an image shows us, it exposes us completely.
  • Robert: Beautiful women like to be taken by ugly men. Of course, nobody admits that. There has to be a force of attraction. And that attraction is not between a man and a woman... That would be too simple. That attraction is between beauty and ugliness. Beauty is nourished by disgracefulness, there's a friction between them.
  • Robert: The only opportunity for love with women emerges from rape. Women easily give themselves to the next best guy. Even when they make the unfortunate one, who really loves them, suffer... The one who'd sacrifice his life for them, who respects them.
  • Marie: People say a woman is no woman until she's given birth to a child.
  • Marie: What in turn proves is that those who get turned on don't love us, either. Basically Paul is right: Being a woman corresponds to a shortcoming. For being wild about a woman really means: wanting to fuck her. However, wanting to fuck a woman means: despising her. Love between men and women is not possible.
  • Robert: Women like to discover things they've already seen on tv.
  • Robert: Sexuality is the clash of triviality and divinity.
  • Marie: Women are the expiatory sacrifices of men.
  • [last lines]
  • Marie: I gave my son his father's name. If someone up there counts souls, then we're even.
  • Paolo: You like your back being tickled?
  • Marie: No, I don't like tenderness. Or to be kissed on the mouth. I couldn't stand that. I don't care who stuffs my cunt. But I can't kiss someone I don't love. It's too intimate.
