Night Train to Lisbon

Raimund Gregorius: 'Considered from the standpoint of eternity, that rather loses its significance...'
Older Adriana: Yes... [Our father] often said that to Amadeu.
Raimund Gregorius: Amadeu doesn't believe in eternity.
Older Adriana: Unfortunately not.

Amadeu: '... And isn't it so everything we do is done out of fear of loneliness? Isn't that why we renounce all the things we will regret at the end of our lives?'

Amadeu: 'When dictatorship is a fact, revolution is a duty.'

Amadeu: 'The real director of life is accident, a director full of cruelty compassion and bewitching charm.'
Mariana: By accident he means fate?
Raimund Gregorius: No, I think he means chance, randomness chance.

Amadeu: In his omnipresence the Lord observes us day and night. He takes note of our acts and thoughts But what is a man without secrets? Without thoughts and wishes that he and he alone knows? Does the Lord our God not consider he's stealing our soul with His unbridled curiosity? A soul that should be immortal? But who would in all seriousness want to be immortal? How boring to know that what happens today, this month, this year, does not matter? Nothing would count. No one here knows what it would be like to live eternally. And it is a blessing we never will. ...

Raimund: If Jesus had been put to death with a guillotine we all be praying for a big, shiny blade. Or if he'd been electrocuted we've bent effectually in front of a chair.

Mariana: But can you really do that nobody is like to be another person, without being the other person?
Raimund: Well, you can imagine what it is like to be that other person. 'Imagination is our last sanctuary,' that's one of his lines. Where he also said: 'Intimacy is our last sanctuary...'

Amadeu: 'In youth, we live as if we were immortal. Knowledge of mortality dances around us like a brittle paper ribbon that barely touches our skin. When, in life does that change? When does the ribbon tighten, until finally it strangles us?'

Older Jorge: Don't you know we don't talk about the Resistance here? We bury our history and move on!

Σ sova-f: «...большинство зрителей считают, что Амадеу до Праду (врач, писатель и красавчик) - реальная историческая личность. А он как раз нет, всего лишь персонаж - но видать, очень убедительный. При всем при этом нельзя отрицать достоинства фильма: много милого моему сердцу Лиссабона, исторически познавательно, смотрится на едином дыхании. ...»
