 Dirk Bogarde Quotation"I'll only work with new people. If you stick with your contemporaries, you're dead." "I was as scrawny as a plucked hen. The Rank organisation did supply me with dumb-bells. All I did was put on two sweaters and then put my shirt on." "I love the camera and it loves me. Well, not very much sometimes. But we're good friends". "First there was the war and then the peace to cope with, and then suddenly I was a film star. It happened all too soon." "Childhood for me was basically a backyard, a spade and a bucket of mud with someone to look after you." "Geniuses are notoriously loony, because it's a very fine line between madness and genius." "TV? Never! I don't want my audience going for a piss or making tea while I'm hard at work." "Cinema just a form of masturbation. Sexual relief for disappointed people. Women write and say: 'I let my husband do it because I think it's you lying on top of me'." "There's something wrong with actors, we've always been a suspect breed. Socially, I find myself more admissable now in England because I've written books." Movie Title: Victim (1961) as Melville Farr: Detective Inspector Harris : Someone once called this law against homosexuality the blackmailer's charter. Melville Farr : Is that how you feel about it? Detective Inspector Harris : I'm a policeman, sir. I don't have feelings. Movie Title: Providence (1977) as Claude Langham: Kevin Woodford : Are you the lady who's dying? Helen Wiener : [drily] Yes, I'm the lady who's dying. Claude Langham : Refreshingly direct, isn't he? I understand that his mind is in outer space most of the time, so that when it returns it has a cosmic scale of values. Movie Title: Darling (1965) as Robert Gold: Robert Gold : Your idea of fidelity is not having more than one man in bed at the same time. Diana Scott : Taxi! Robert Gold : We're not taking a taxi. Diana Scott : Why not? Robert Gold : I don't take whores in taxis. Movie Title: Death in Venice (1971) as Gustav von Aschenbach: Gustav von Aschenbach : You must never smile like that. You must never smile like that at anyone. Gustav von Aschenbach : I remember when we once had one of those [points to an hourglass] Gustav von Aschenbach : in my father's house. The aperture through which the sand runs is so tiny that first it seems as if the level in the upper glass never changes. To our eyes, it appears that the sand runs out only, only at the end. And until it does, it's not worth thinking about. Till the last moment when there is no more time... when there's no more time left to think about it. Gustav von Aschenbach : You know sometimes I think that artists are rather like hunters aiming in the dark. They don't know what their target is, and they don't know if they've hit it. But you can't expect life to illuminate the target and steady your aim. The creation of beauty and purity is a spiritual act. Alfred : Non Gustav, no. Beauty belongs to the senses. Only to the senses. Gustav von Aschenbach : You cannot reach the spirit with the senses. You cannot. It's only by complete domination of the senses that you can ever achieve wisdom, truth, and human dignity. Movie Title: A Bridge Too Far (1977) as Lt. General Frederick Browning / Lt. Gen. Frederick Browning / Lt. General Frederick "Boy" Browning: Lt. General Frederick "Boy" Browning : I've just been on to Monty. He's very proud and pleased. Major General Urquhart : Pleased? Lt. General Frederick "Boy" Browning : Of course. He thinks Market Garden was 90% successful. Major General Urquhart : But what do you think? Lt. General Frederick "Boy" Browning : Well, as you know, I always felt we tried to go a bridge too far. Brig. General James Gavin : So that's it. We're pulling them out. It was Nimejegen. Lt. Colonel J.O.E. Vandeleur : It was the single road getting to Nimejegen. Lt. General Horrocks : No, it was after Nimejegen. Lt. General Frederick "Boy" Browning : And the fog, in England. Maj. General Stanislaw Sosabowski : Doesn't matter what it was. When one man says to another, "I know what let's do today, let's play the war game."... everybody dies. [Final plans are being discussed] Lt. Gen. Frederick Browning : Only the weather can stop us now. General Stanislaw Sosaboski : Weather. What of the Germans, General Browning. Don't you think that if we know Arnhem is so critical to their safety that they might know it too? Lt. General Frederick Browning : See here, General Sosaboski, I should think you would have more faith in Field Marshal Montgomery's plan. General Stanislaw Sosaboski : Faith? I will tell you how much faith I have. I am thinking of asking for a letter from you stating that I was ordered to go on this mission in case my men are slaughtered. Lt. General Frederick Browning : I see. Do you wish such a letter? General Stanislaw Sosaboski : No. If we are slaughtered, there will be no need of a letter. Lt. General Frederick "Boy" Browning : Hello, Roy. How are you? Major General Roy Urqhart : I'm not sure I'll know for a while. But I'm sorry about how it turned out. Lt. General Frederick "Boy" Browning : You did all you could. Major General Roy Urqhart : Yes, but did everyone else? Lt. General Frederick "Boy" Browning : They've got a bed for you upstairs if you want it. Major General Roy Urqhart : I took ten thousand men into Arnhem. I've come out with less than two. I don't feel much like sleeping. |
