Quotes5

  • Zoe Alexander: He stuck his fingers in my mouth and he called me a pig!
  • Zoe Alexander: The world does not collapse every time you stop looking at it.
  • Anton Bosnyak: Tonight, we will not have a lesson. From now on, I would like to work just once a week.
  • Zoe Alexander: Why?
  • Anton Bosnyak: Well... you're at a very good condition now, and... I need a rest.
  • Zoe Alexander: Well, you've worked harder than I have.
  • Anton Bosnyak: The young usually don't notice these things.
  • Zoe Alexander: Not so young. Twenty-two.
  • Anton Bosnyak: Hehe. Poor old lady.
  • Anton Bosnyak: [on the bouquet in Zoe's hand] Somebody gave you flowers.
  • Zoe Alexander: Oh, for you.
  • [hands him the bouquet]
  • Anton Bosnyak: Oh, thank you, I'll put them in the fridge.
  • [last lines]
  • Anton Bosnyak: The word 'teach' means 'to make known'. When you came to me, you didn't know what you were, who you were, nothing. Together, we made your voice known to you; and we made it known to you by making yourself known to you. The sounds of loving that you make, your sounds of endurance, your betrayals...
  • Zoe Alexander: You think I betrayed you?
  • Anton Bosnyak: It doesn't matter! Together we were able to release what you are. The work of every artist is to make themselves holy known. Now, I want you to go away, and amaze me.
  • Zoe Alexander: I need you!
  • Anton Bosnyak: No. You are intact now. Go away, and leave me intact. Please.
  • Zoe Alexander: [after a pause] So... you're sending me away. It's all I was to you? Something, something "amazing", huh?
  • Anton Bosnyak: That is all that matters.
