Quotes 

• Gustav Kanning : I love you, Gertrud.

  Gertrud Kanning : Love. Such a big word. There's so much you love. You love power and honor, you love yourself, your intellectual life, your books, your Havana cigars... and I am sure you love me at times.

• Gustav Kanning : [First lines]  Gertrud. Gertrud. You're still here.

• Gustav Kanning : It gets dark early now.

  Gertrud Kanning : I should probably go.

  Gustav Kanning : I seek your lips and you give me your cheek. And the door to your room has been locked to me for more than a month. I used to be welcome there. I often lie awake, thinking of you. I've thought you might be in love with someone else and I've wondered who it could be.

  [Doorbell rings] 

  Gustav Kanning : Damn it, Mamma's here.

• Gabriel Lidman : I hear you're to be a minister.

  Gustav Kanning : It almost looks that way, if one can believe what they says in the papers.

  Gabriel Lidman : One has to. One must trust something in this world.
