BABETTE'S FEAST











Quotes from Babette's Feast (1987)

- Old Martina: [after learning Babette spent 10,000 francs on the dinner] Now you'll be poor for the rest of your life. 
Babette: An artist is never poor. 


- Narrator: At this very moment, he had a mighty vision of a higher and purer life, without creditors' letters or parental lectures... and with a gentle angel at his side.

RESURRECTION 


Eva Le Gallienne & 
Ellen Burstyn in
Resurrection (1980)

Trivia about Resurrection: When the idea was first pitched to Ellen Burstyn, the film was supposed to be more of a thriller, like The Exorcist (1973). Burstyn was not impressed with that approach, so when she heard the approach offered by writer Lewis John Carlino, she was impressed and this film is the result.




QUOTES FROM RESURRECTION


Edna Mae McCauley: I love you, Gramma. 
Grandma Pearl: Yes - that's it, ain't it. If we could just... Love... each other, as much as we say we love Him, I 'spect there wouldn't be the bother in the world there is. 
Edna Mae McCauley: I 'spect. 


Edna Mae McCauley: If we could just love each other as much as we say we love Him... I expect there'd be much less trouble in the world. 


Esco Brown: Go carefully with peace in your heart, love in your eyes, and laughter on your tongue. And if life don't hand you nothing but lemons, you just make you a bunch of lemonade. Book Brown, chapter one, verse one. 


Edna Mae McCauley: [Turning down an offer to have her healing ability tested] What's going on here has to do with people and feelings and not wires and machines. I dunno, it just doesn't feel right to me".
