Women in Love quotes

  • Hermione Roddice: Immortality of the soul? More appropriate for an execution, I should have thought, than for a wedding.

  • Hermione Roddice: What are you doing?

    Rupert Birkin: Catkins.

    Hermione Roddice: Really? What do you learn about them?

    Rupert Birkin: Well from these little red bits, the nuts come - if they receive pollen from these long danglers.

    Hermione Roddice: Little red flames. Little red flames, are the beautiful! I think they're so beautiful.

    Rupert Birkin: Did you never notice them before?

    Hermione Roddice: No. Never before.

    Rupert Birkin: Well, now you'll always see them.

    Hermione Roddice: Now I shall always see them. Thank you, so much, for showing me. I think they're so beautiful. Little red flames.
