Captian Corelli's Mandolin – Movie Quotes

When you fall in love... it is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake, and then it subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots... have become so entwined together... that it is inconceivable... that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. <...> That is just being in love... which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over... when being in love has burned away.

Sometimes it is better... to lose than to have so much blood on your hands.

— I tried to live without you. I tried to make myself believe I could live without you.
— The scar healed well.
