Quotes 

• Sarah : Love doesn't end, just because we don't see each other.

  Maurice Bendrix : Doesn't it?

  Sarah : People go on loving God, don't they? All their lives. Without seeing him.

  Maurice Bendrix : That's not my kind of love.

  Sarah : Maybe there is no other kind.

• Maurice Bendrix : I'm jealous of this stocking.

  Sarah Miles : Why?

  Maurice Bendrix : Because it does what I can't. Kisses your whole leg. And I'm jealous of this button.

  Sarah Miles : Poor, innocent button.

  Maurice Bendrix : It's not innocent at all. It's with you all day. I'm not.

  Sarah Miles : I suppose you're jealous of my shoes?

  Maurice Bendrix : Yes.

  Sarah Miles : Why?

  Maurice Bendrix : Because they'll take you away from me.

• Sarah : You see I never stopped loving you, even though I couldn't see you.

• Sarah : Tell Him I'm sorry. I'm too human. Too weak. Tell Him I can't keep my promises. I'm tired of being without you.

• Sarah : I've only made two promises in my life. One was to marry Henry, the other is to stop seeing you. And I'm too weak to keep either.

• Sarah : I had tempted fate, and fate had accepted.

• Sarah : Are you on a new book?

  Maurice Bendrix : Of course.

  Sarah : It's not about us, is it? The one you threatened to write?

  Maurice Bendrix : A book takes a year to write. It's too hard work for revenge.

  Sarah : If only you knew how little you had to revenge.

  Maurice Bendrix : I'm joking. We are adults. We knew it had to end some time. Now we can have lunch and talk about your husband.
