The Collector Quotes

  • Daniel: I'm still interested in perversity. But nothing like that kind of chick.

  • Daniel: The more girls a guy has, the more he's suspect. The important thing is not to be liked. It flatters me. It's nice not to be in her collection.

  • Daniel: Screw her, old man!

  • Haydée: I found a definition for Haydée. She's a collector! Haydée, if you sleep around without premeditation you are the lowest of the low. The atrocious ingenue. But, if you collect in a consistent way, with obstinacy, it's a plot, things are entirely different.

    Daniel: Yes, but she collects badly.

    Haydée: I'm not a collector.

    Adrien: Don't say that. It's your only quality.

    Haydée: You're completely wrong. I'm searching. I'm searching to find something.

  • Haydée: I exploit. It can be anything, the main thing is for me to get something.

  • Adrien: We are always someone else's slave. I find less dishonor in living at a friend's house, than in being paid by the State. Today, most people do useless work. Three quarters of all activities are parasitic. I'm not a parasite, the bureaucrats, the technicians are.

  • Adrien: You're a little immoral slut!

    Haydée: I definitely don't agree with your morals.

    Adrien: I don't either.

  • Adrien: In all sincerity, I think I serve mankind better by taking it easy than by working. It's true. It takes courage to not work.
