Desire and Devotion

Bottom line:
A group of ascetic Puritans in a small Danish town who refuse to love pure love and show their God-given talents in front of everyone, because anything beyond the law of obedience can lead to loss. However, when Babette entertained everyone with her own feast, everyone's face was ruddy and gentle, and happiness would not harm people's kind souls, but let them suffer from the past.
"I am with you every day of my life, tell me you know." "Justice and mercy are with the soul"
Firmness is in the soul, protection is in the soul, and love is in the soul.

You believe in God, you love him, you don't have to crawl at his feet to honor him and fear him.
Follow his hand, test the soul, and shine in the world.

Babette's Feast quotes

  • General Lorens Löwenhielm: This is Blinis Demidoff! And this most certainly is Veuve Clicquot 1860!

  • General Lorens Löwenhielm: One day in Paris, after I'd won a riding competition, some French officers invited me out to dine at one of the city's finest restaurants, the Café Anglais. The chef, surprisingly enough, was a woman. We were served cailles en sarcophage, a dish of her own creation. General Galliffet, our host for the evening, explained that this woman, this head chef, had the ability to transform a dinner into a kind of love affair, a love affair that made no distinction between bodily appetite and spiritual appetite.
