An Ordinary Miracle (1978 film)

"Who dares to reason or predict when high feelings take possession of a man?"

"Glory to the brave who dare to love, knowing that it will all end. Glory to the mad who live as if they were immortal."

"I must warn you: we are restless guests, I am a terrible person, a tyrant, a despot, insidious, capricious, vindictive. And the most offensive thing is that it is not my fault. My ancestors are to blame. Great-grandfathers, great-grandmothers, great-uncles and aunts, various forefathers and foremothers. They behaved like the last pigs in their life, and now I am cleaning up their past. And I myself am a kind, clever man by nature, I love poetry and prose, music, painting, fishing, cats."

"Today I will have a party. Joyfully, good-naturedly one, with all sorts of harmless antics. Prepare the dishes, plates, I will break all of this. Remove the grain from the barn: I will set the barn on fire."

"An execution block, an executioner, and a glass of vodka. The vodka is for me, everything else for him."

"As a saint honoris causa, a great martyr honoris causa and a Pope honoris causa of our kingdom, I approach the sacrament of the rite."

"You hug me like you have a right to do so. I like it. I really like it."

"I've been chasing you for three days to tell you how indifferent I am to you!"

"I have seen enough of these noble sufferers, wandering musicians and beggar singers, and worse still, these minstrels, these tormentors of human souls. It is they who push deceived fools to their deaths. It is they who invented love!"

"If you want to point out my mistakes, then first praise me, you scoundrel."
