Marcello Rubini:
[to Emma] A man who agrees to live like this is a finished man, he's nothing but a worm! I don't believe in your aggressive, sticky, maternal love! I don't want it, I have no use for it! This isn't love, it's brutalization!
Marcello Rubini:
You are the first woman on the first day of creation. You are mother, sister, lover, friend, angel, devil, earth, home.
