It's not a movie review, it's a line break

He travels fastest who travels alone.

He had a theory that if you should find one perfect thing or place or person, you should stick to it.

Stop biting your nail.
Oh, I wish I were a woman of 36, dressed in black satin , with a string of pearls.
You wouldn't be here with me if you were.

And another thing, please promise me never to wear black satin or pearls or to be 36 years old.

Which would you prefer, New York or Manderly?
I repeat what I said, either you go to Amarica with Mrs. Van Hopper, or you come home to Manderly with me.
You mean you want a secretary or something?
I'm asking you to marry me, you little fool.

Ah, my suggestion didn't seem to go at all well. I'm sorry.

Bless you for that. I'll remind you of this one day, and you won't believe me.
It's a pity you have to grow up.

Rebecca quotes

  • Mrs. de Winter: [opening voice-over] Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again. It seemed to me I stood by the iron gate leading to the drive, and for a while I could not enter, for the way was barred to me. Then, like all dreamers, I was possessed of a sudden with supernatural powers and passed like a spirit through the barrier before me. The drive wound away in front of me, twisting and turning as it had always done. But as I advanced, I was aware that a change had come upon it. Nature had come into her own again, and little by little had encroached upon the drive with long, tenacious fingers. On and on wound the poor thread that had once been our drive, and finally there was Manderley. Manderley - secretive and silent. Time could not mar the perfect symmetry of those walls. Moonlight can play odd tricks upon the fancy, and suddenly it seemed to me that light came from the windows. And then a cloud came upon the moon and hovered an instant like a dark hand before a face. The illusion went with it. I looked upon a desolate shell with no whisper of the past about its staring walls. We can never go back to Manderley again. That much is certain. But sometimes, in my dreams I do go back to the strange days of my life, which began for me in the South of France.

  • Maxim de Winter: You despise me, don't you?
