I’d like, at each step, each gust of wind, to be able to say, ‘now’ … and no longer ‘forever’ and ‘for eternity’. Instead of forever hovering above I’d like to feel a weight … to tie me to Earth.

Damiel: … sometimes I’m fed up with my spiritual existence.Marion: Once again night falls inside my head.Now, on this very spot, a feeling of happiness that I could keep forever. I only have to lift my eyes and once again I become the world. I have no roots, no story, no country, and I like it that way. A liturgy for which no one needs to be initiated to the meaning of words and sentences. I’m an old man with a broken voice, but the tale still rises from the depths, and the mouth, slightly opened, repeats it as clearly, as powerfully. And one doesn’t know anything about the other. They no longer sit in a circle, bur rather sit apart. With time, those who listened to me became my readers. Homer: Tell me, muse, of the storyteller who has been thrust to the edge of the world, both an infant and an ancient, and through him reveal everyman.Longing for a wave of love that would stir in me. I won’t say a word, and will understand every language. I’ll be known to everyone, and suspect to no one. A service car will stop, and the mayor will take me aboard. In the crowded bar, the bartender will find me a table. I’ll be pushed around, and I’ll push back. Then I’ll buy a newspaper and read it from headlines to horoscope … If someone stumbles over my legs, he’ll have to apologize. Then I’ll be shaved by a Turkish barber who will massage me down to the fingertips. What is wrong with peace that its inspiration doesn’t endure … and that its story is hardly told? Homer: My heroes are no longer the warriors and kings … but the things of peace … But no one has so far succeeded in singing an epic of peace.Marion: To look in the mirror is to watch yourself think.Marion: Time will heal everything, but what if time is the illness?.Here are some of the best quotes from the movie, translated to English.
