All This, and Heaven Too Quotes:

Duc de Praslin: Will it be any comfort to you to know that when your gone my only happiness will be in knowing I'm sharing your loneliness?
Henriette Deluzy-Desportes: You may not have learned much French today, but I think you have learned a little patience and tolerance and that is the same in every language.
Henriette Deluzy-Desportes: I can't help but feel this time you'll pay very dearly.
Duc de Praslin: I always pay. Sometimes I pay most for what I never had. It is not unfair that for a few days I've had what I can never pay for.
Duc de Praslin: Oh, please don't go. Don't even move.
Henriette Deluzy-Desportes: Why?
Duc de Praslin: I might say don't move because, as you sit there, the firelight is so beautiful on your hair. I might say don't move because this is All Souls' Day, and you mustn't disturb the spirits. And again, I might say don't move because this is a moment so full of understanding that I can't bear to see it come to an end.
Duc de Praslin: Would it be any comfort to you to know that my only happiness will be in knowing I am sharing your loneliness.
