Quotes 

  • Claude : The only time I feel alive is when I'm cruising. It's incredible, I become... crazed... electrified...

  • Claude : Disease is part of sex.

  • Claude : I can't help it. Some nights I just have to fuck someone. Anyone.

  • Claude : Have you ever tried it? Wife-swapping parties, orgies, that sort of thing?

    Rémy : I never mix my marriage with my sex life. I may cheat on Louise, but I know she's the one for me.

  • Claude : I'm not physically brave... but when it hits I can set out at 4 a.m. on an expedition... through the saunas of Los Angeles... or the heaviest bars in St. Pauli in Hamburg. That's why I live alone. I never know how the day will end. Even if nothing happens... the possibility still exists. Knowing I have to be home at 6, 'cause the old lady has supper waiting... would kill me.

  • Claude : The more you screw around, the more you want to.

  • Dominique St. Arnaud : [asking for comments on her theory]  You haven't said a word about the book.

    Louise : I bet they agree with me but are scared to say so.

    Dominique St. Arnaud : I think they feel superior.

    Pierre : Superior? Why?

    Dominique St. Arnaud : [referring to Pierre and Rémy]  Because you've both slept with me.

    Pierre : What does that have to do with it?

    Dominique St. Arnaud : I think that for men like you... love always entails a struggle for power. Rémy's often said he'd like to seduce a big intellectual... I don't know, say...

    Alain : Susan Sontag.

    Dominique St. Arnaud : Right. It's the urge to appropriate her. To dominate her, almost physically.

    Claude : Come on... it can also be the desire to share, to be with.

    Dominique St. Arnaud : Perhaps. But I can't trust the disdain of men who've made me come, who've had me.

  • Claude : Dawn is the hour of death... the hour of sea-gray light.

  • Claude : There are painters of the night like Rembrandt... or Georges De La Tour... but there are few who paint the dawn.
