Faust Quotes in Faust (1994)

Faust: How comes it then that thou art now out of hell with me?

Mefistofele: Why, this is hell, nor am I out of it. Thinks thou that I, who saw the face of God and tasted the eternal joys of heaven, am not tormented with ten thousand hells in being deprived of everlasting bliss?

Mefistofele: Heaven is not so wondrous.

Faust: How so?

Mefistofele: It was made for man, therefore is man much more exquisite.

Faust: If it was made for man, it was made for me! I shall renounce the magic and repent!

Faust: All things in heaven and on earth are wonderful! But the greatest miracle of all is man's freedom to choose between good and evil!

Mephisto: Poor Faust, why do you seek death when you have not yet lived?

Faust: I hate life!

Mephisto: Your life was only dust and decay! Pleasure is everything!

Faust: I am too old!

Mephisto: I offer you the greatest happiness: Youth! Seize it!

Faust: We are lost! Belief will not help you, nor shall knowledge! Everything is lies!

Faust: I call thee for help, O Spirit of Darkness: Show thyself! Come forth, evil demon! I call to thee as thou callest thyself, by thy unholy name: MEMPHISTO, appear!

Faust: Deliver me, O elixir of death!

Faust: Every man is free to die!

Faust: Damn! Damn the delusion of youth!
