The Marriage of Maria Braun quotes

  • Karl Oswald: Do you want to leave me?

    Maria Braun: That would be stupid. It would only make us unhappier. At least if you know you're unhappy, there's still hope.

  • Maria Braun: Betti was your wife, after all - the only person I can tell all my troubles to.

    Willi Klenze: Because she doesn't listen.

    Maria Braun: Could be. You need somebody who listens. I need the opposite.
