Countess Aurelia Quotes in The Madwoman of Chaillot (1969)

The Ragpicker: People are not the same, Countess. People are different. No one is involved with anyone anymore. There - there's been an invasion, an infiltration. The world isn't beautiful any longer. The world is not happy.

Countess Aurelia: Is this true? The world is not beautiful? The world is not happy? Why wasn't I told?

The Ragpicker: Because you've been dreaming a long time, Countess. And no - nobody wanted to disturb you.

Countess Aurelia: Say it. Say that you love him before it's too late. Let another moment witch between you and it will become a month, a year, a decade. Your hair will be white. His cuffs will be frayed. And there will be another madwoman in Chaillot. Say it. Before the music stops.
