Quotes 

• Elizabeth : I have no comprehension of the word love. It seems to me a delusion that people grasp and cling to. It has no reality.

  Tom Tuckett : When you find it, it's the only reality.

  Elizabeth : I will never love anybody. I've been brought up without a heart.

• Tom Tuckett : Do you remember the first thing you ever said to me? You told me I was a common little labouring boy with thick boots.

  Elizabeth : Well, I could hardly say anything like that now. Anyway I've learnt better manners.

• Miss Stevenson : Then love her, love her. If she favours, love her.

  Elizabeth : Don't. Please don't.

  Miss Stevenson : I adopted her to be loved. I bred her, I educated her to be loved. Love her, love her, love her, love her.

• Tom Tuckett : Well, she, um, she seemed to like me as a boy

  Elizabeth : Like you? She would destroy all men if she thought she could.

• Elizabeth : The man who loves me will pay for the man who did love her.

• Tom Tuckett : So, in parting, I will tell you again the last time. I have loved you long and deeply.

  Elizabeth : I'm sorry, Tuck. I did try to warn you.

  Tom Tuckett : Warn me. Well, why don't you warn the wind to stop blowing, the earth to stop turning. You have a lot to learn about reality yourself, Elizabeth. You can't change what is. My love lives within me. You can't command it to end, no more than you can command it to begin.

  Elizabeth : Then I have no responsibility in the matter.

  Tom Tuckett : None whatsoever.

• Elizabeth : Tuck.

  Tom Tuckett : Elizabeth.

  Elizabeth : It's good to see you, Tuck.

  Tom Tuckett : Elizabeth.

  Elizabeth : Oh, is that all you have to say to me after all these years?
