Quotes 

  • Louise : [describing an orgy]  Well, it was for married couples.

    Diane Leonard : [laughing]  Married?

    Louise : That's right. These people are absolutely faithful, do everything together. For me it was... a way of showing our love.

  • Diane Leonard : [describing her current relationship]  But I have to stop, because... it's getting dangerous.

    Dominique St. Arnaud : You're afraid of him?

    Diane Leonard : No, it's me I'm afraid of.

  • Diane Leonard : Such simple souls, they shout 'Mamma' when they come.

    Dominique St. Arnaud : Yes, that's right. The first time a man shouted 'Mamma,' 'Mamma mia!', I thought his mother had come in. I wanted to hide under the bed.

  • Diane Leonard : History is criticized for dealing only with the victors. Often this is due to the documents available. There are more records about Egyptians than Nubians, more about Spaniards than Mayas, and of course, many more records about men than women. This limitation to History is very real. There is perhaps also a psychological reason. We far prefer hearing about winners than about losers.
