The Sheltering Sky quotes

  • Kit Moresby: Champagne yes, philosophy no.

  • Port Moresby: You know, if Tunner didn't take such long siestas, I'd never be alone with you. I think he's in love with you.

    Kit Moresby: Port, don't be silly.

    Port Moresby: Oh, the ferocity with which he counts your luggage.

    Kit Moresby: Oh, he counts yours too.

    Port Moresby: It's not the same.
