Mouchette quotes

  • Undertaker: Before Our Lord, they used fragrant herbs to embalm the dead. Now they don't even wash them. The priest says the dead are in heaven. I won't argue, but I have my own ideas. People used to worship the dead. They were gods. That must have been true religion.

    Mouchette: You disgusting old thing.
