“That's what survival means, for me. I thought it was a matter of staying alive, but it isn't. Nobody lives forever anyway. It's how you're remembered. It's what your children thought of you, what they think of you after you're dead. That's survival.”

“I opened myself to you only to be skinned alive. The more vulnerable I became, the faster and more deft your knife. Knowing what was happening, still I stayed and let you carve more. That's how much I loved you. That's how much.”

“Do you know what I love? Life. And romantic love is a distraction that makes staying alive more difficult. " [Sabine]”

“Stay close to anything that makes you glad that you are alive.”

“Even in that time of utter darkness, somewhere deep inside me the memory of love and goodness had stayed alive.”

“How far would you go to keep the hope of love alive?”

“Think if you want to stay alive. Fear will kill you if you don't control it.”

“You never forget a beautiful thing that you have made,' [Chef Bugnard] said. 'Even after you eat it, it stays with you - always.”
