    The Red Shoes quotes

    • Boris Lermontov: Why do you want to dance?

      [Vicky thinks for a short while]

      Victoria Page: Why do you want to live?

      [Lermontov is suprised at the answer]

      Boris Lermontov: Well I don't know exactly why, er, but I must.

      Victoria Page: That's my answer too.

    • Grischa Ljubov: You can't alter human nature.

      Boris Lermontov: No? I think you can do even better than that. You can ignore it!
