Black Orpheus quotes

  • Orfeo: I have nothing left to live for. I'm poorer than the poorest of black men.

    Hermes: Beg for mercy, my son. We're all poor, and the only words left for us are those of the poor man: Thank you.

  • Orfeo: Everything's beautiful, Eurydice. My heart's like a bird whose thirst is quenched by a single dewdrop. Thank you, Eurydice. Thank you for this new day.
