Quotes: [on Delphine Seyrig] She is lovely. <br /> <hr> Ever tried? Ever failed? No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better. <br /> <hr> Walter [Lowenfels], all I want to do is sit on my ass and fart and think of Dante. <br /> <hr> The dead die hard, they are trespassers on the beyond, they must take the place as they find it, the shafts and manholes back into the muck, till such time as the lord of the manor incurs through his long acquiescence a duty of care in respect of them. <br /> <hr> Let me say before I go any further that I forgive nobody. I wish them all an atrocious life and then the fires and ice of hell and in the execrable generations to come an honored name.
