Miss Julie quotes

  • John: You know the way that I am. I'm always placing a veil over people, idealizing them. So I never see who they really are. I did that with her - Miss Julie - and was bound to be disappointed.

    Kathleen: We are all forced to face ourselves as less than we'd hoped to be.

  • John: All it shows is that they are not a bit better than we are.

    Kathleen: If they're not any better than us, then there is nothing to inspire us to become better ourselves!
