Cinema Paradiso quotes

Alfredo: What's she like?
Salvatore: She's very nice. My age, slim, long brown hair. Big blue eyes, honest and direct. A little beauty mark on her lip. Very small. You only see it up close. When she smiles, you feel like - I don't know.
Alfredo: Love. Love. I know how it is. The blue-eyed ones are the worst. No matter what you do, they'll never be your friends. There's nothing you can do.

Salvatore, Alfredo

Alfredo: The bigger the man, the deeper the footprint. And if he loves, he suffers, knowing it's a dead-end street.
Salvatore: That's nice, what you just said. But sad.
Alfredo: I didn't say it. It was John Wayne in "The Shepard of the Hills."
Salvatore: You old pirate!

Salvatore, Alfredo

Salvatore: They tell me you never go out and you never talk to anybody. Why?
Alfredo: You know how it is. Sooner or later a time comes when it's all the same whether you talk or not. So you might as well shut up.

Salvatore, Alfredo
