Limelight

& Doctor: How long have you known this girl?
    Calvero: About five minutes.
    Doctor: She’ll need looking after for a couple of days.

& Thereza: Why didn’t you let me die?
    Calvero: What’s your hurry?

& Calvero: Are you in pain?
    Thereza: [No.]
    Calvero: That’s all that matters. The rest is fantasy.

& Calvero: Billions of years it’s taken to evolve human consciousness and you want to wipe it out. Wipe out the miracle of all existence. More important than anything in the whole universe! What can the stars do? Nothing... but sit on their axis! And the sun, shooting flames 280,000 miles high... So what? Wasting all its natural resources. Can the sun think? Is it conscious? No, but you are!

& Maid: Your wife won’t eat.
    Calvero: Well, that’s a blessing to a poor married man.

& Calvero: It isn’t the ideal spot for convalescing, but you’re welcome to it, if you can put up with being Mrs. Calvero. In name only!
    Thereza: It won’t inconvenience you?
    Calvero: Not at all. I’ve had five wives already. One more or less makes no difference.

& Calvero: I’ve arrived at the age where platonic friendship can be sustained on the highest moral plane.

& Thereza: All life aimless without meaning.
    Calvero: What do you want a meaning for? Life is a desire, not a meaning. Desire is the theme of all life! Thereza: It makes a rose want to be a rose, and want to grow like that... And a rock want to contain itself and remain like that...


& Thereza: I’m sorry.
    Calvero: You should be. A young girl like you wanting to throw your life away. When you’re my age, you’ll want to hang on to it.
    Thereza: Why?
    Calvero: Well, at this stage of the game life gets to be a habit.
    Thereza: A hopeless one.
    Calvero: Then live without hope. Live for the moment. There are still, there are still... There are still wonderful moments.

& Thereza: I’m tired of fighting.
    Calvero: Because you’re fighting yourself. You won’t give yourself a chance. But the fight for happiness is beautiful.

& Thereza: What a sad business, being funny.
    Calvero: Very sad if they won’t laugh. But it’s a thrill when they do.

& Calvero: I want to forget the public.
    Thereza: Never. You love them too much.
    Calvero: Maybe I love them, but I don’t admire them.
    Thereza: I think you do.
    Calvero: As individuals, yes. There’s greatness in everyone. But as a crowd, they’re like a monster without a head that never knows which way it’s going to turn. It can be prodded in any direction.

& Calvero: That’s the trouble with the world. We all despise ourselves.

& Calvero: Yes, life can be wonderful if you’re not afraid of it. All it needs is courage, imagination and a little dough.

& Thereza: What is there to fight for?
    Calvero: Everything! Life itself! Isn’t that enough? To be lived, suffered, enjoyed!

& Calvero: Time is the great author. It always writes the perfect ending.

& Thereza: Calvero, come back. You’ve got to come back!
    Calvero: I can’t. I must go forward. That’s progress.

& Calvero: I don’t like it. Everyone’s so kind to me. Makes me feel isolated. Even you make me feel isolated.
