The Innocents (1961 film)

"All I want to do is save the children, not destroy them. More than anything, I love children. More than anything. They need affection. Love. Someone who will belong to them, and to whom they will belong."

"I'm a bachelor but not I might add a lonely one. I spend a great deal of time abroad and as for my London life, well, it amuses me, but it's not the sort of amusement that one could suitably share with children. In brief Miss Giddens, I'm a very selfish fellow, and the last man alive to be saddled so suddenly and so awkwardly with two orphaned infants. It's most unfortunate, as I have no room for them mentally or emotionally. Does that seem quite heartless?"

"I'm not a mind reader, my dear. I've told you that before. But I do sense things."

"It's a bit sad, though, when people don't have time for you."

"Oh, look, a lovely spider: it's eating a butterfly."

"Apparitions? Evils? Corruptions?"

"Do they ever return to possess the Living?"

"A strange new experience in shock."

"You'll Get the Shock of Your Life!"
