The English Patient quotes

  • Almásy: There is no God... but I hope someone looks after you.

    Madox: Just in case you're interested, it's called the suprasternal notch. Come and visit us in Dorset when all this nonsense is over.

    Katharine Clifton: Hm, let's see... Water. Fish in it. And hedgehogs; I love hedgehogs.

    Almásy: And what else?

    Katharine Clifton: Marmite - I'm addicted. And baths. But not with other people. Islands. Your handwriting. I could go on all day.

    Almásy: Go on all day.

    Katharine Clifton: My husband.

    Almásy: What do you hate most?

    Katharine Clifton: A lie. What do you hate most?
