Black Narcissus quotes

  • Mother Dorothea: [At their Order's office in Calcutta] Sister Clodagh, we may proceed with our plans at Mopu. It will be called "Saint Faith."

    Sister Clodagh: [Mechanically repeating the Reverend Mother's words] "Saint Faith."

    Mother Dorothea: And YOU have been appointed to take charge of Saint Faith.

    Sister Clodagh: I, Reverend Mother?

    Mother Dorothea: You... You will be the youngest Sister Superior in our order.

    Sister Clodagh: Thank you, Reverend Mother.

  • Mother Dorothea: [Telling Sister Clodagh what to expect at Mopu] The agent at Mopu is an Englishman. He seems a difficult man. You won't get much help from him.
