Louis Jourdan Quotes:
Stefan Brand: Have you ever shuffled faces like cards, hoping to find one that lies somewhere, just over the edge of your memory? The one you've been waiting for?

Dr. Ralph Sawyer: [reading for the poetry club] In secret we met / In silence I grieve / That thy heart could forget, / Thy spirit deceive.
Richard Stuart: [interrupts and finishes] If I should meet thee / After long years, / How should I greet thee? / With silence - and tears.
