Needing You (2000)

Story of the Eye (1928)


"We were perfectly calm, all three of us, and that was the most hopeless part of it. Any boredom in the world is linked, for me, to that moment and, above all, to an obstacle as ridiculous as death. But that won’t prevent me from thinking back to that time with no revulsion and even with a sense of complicity. Basically, the lack of excitement made everything far more absurd, and thus Marcelle was closer to me dead than in her lifetime, inasmuch as absurd existence, so I imagine, has all the prerogatives."

Tender is the Night (1934)

"'Why do you want to fight the Soviets?' McKisco said. 'The greatest experiment ever made by humanity? And the Riff? It seems to me it would be more heroic to fight on the just side.'
'How do you find out which it is?' asked Barban dryly.
'Why - usually everybody intelligent knows.'
'Are you a Communist?'
'I'm a Socialist, said McKisco, 'I sympathize with Russia.'
'Well, I'm a soldier,' Barban answered pleasantly. 'My business is to kill people. I fought against the Riff because I'm a European, and I have fought the Communists because they want to my property from me.'
'Of all the narrow-minded excuses,' McKisco looked around to establish a derisive liasion with some one else, but without success."
