• Vladimar Ivan Tsarakov : My dear count, an artist must have his relaxation. He must be inspired by many beautiful women.

  Count Robert Renaud : Suppose he falls in love with one of those beautiful women?

  Vladimar Ivan Tsarakov : Oh, for a man like you, there is nothing wrong with it. For an artist, it is fatal. He must have his whole soul, his whole being, in his art. Nothing else.
