Portrait of Jennie quotes

  • Jennie Appleton: How beautiful the world is Eben! The sun goes down in in the same lovely sky. Just as it did yesterday, and will tomorrow.

    Eben Adams: When is tomorrow, Jenny?

    Jennie Appleton: Does it matter? It's always. This was tomorrow once.

  • Jennie Appleton: Eben... I want always just to sit and watch you paint.

    Eben Adams: Now that I've found the perfect model, I'll paint her again and again.

    Jennie Appleton: No, I - - I didn't mean that... I mean I want you to paint all the beautiful things in the world.

    Eben Adams: [smiles, holds her tight] You're the most beautiful thing in the world.
