Henry & June

"Oh, Henry, I want to know what you want to know. I want my life to match your life."

"And that's our task. Liberation. Freedom. Let's toast to Lawrence. Let's toast to our defects. Toast, to our friendship. Drink cold, piss warm."

"I'd believe only in a god that understood how to dance. Isn't that something?"

"I've done the vilest things - the foulest things - but I've done them... superbly."

"I wanna be drunk. And make... you drunk. Because I'm intimidated by you. I need to feel free to say anything, and know that you'll forgive me."

"It's a distortion. Henry, Look at me! Look! You can't see me or anyone as they are! I wanted Dostoyevsky!"

"[Late at night in bed with Anaïs] I don't know why, I keep on thinking of this little Chinese restaurant that Henry and I used to go after I got off work. He'd wait for me outside the dance hall at two in the mornin', then we'd rush through the freezin' cold holding each other tight. We'd get there just before closing time sit in a booth by the window eatin' chow mein, watchin' the snow swirl by. There was some kind of unbelievable thrill in the air between us. I feel kind of haunted by it now. Chin Lees. Its funny, it seems like a dream."

"You fall in love with people's minds."

"Does she think she can love anything in you I haven't loved?"
