Ma Mère

"[last line of the film] Please, dont die, mom!"

"Wrong isnt what were about to do. Wrong is wanting to survive it."

"Sometimes, I can admit if I love Hansis ass so much, then its because I want God to curse it. I now associate joy... That faraway joy in God that I knew... I admit theyre both equally holy. Her ass makes me realize I never really loved God. I liked the idea of being abandoned by God. I was reciting catechism, thats all. God is something other than my old prayers. He is my way of losing my senses. By loving Hansi, I hope to slowly lose my senses. In a slow way, but not lifeless, you know. A choppy slowness. Choppy and scalp-tingling. It doesnt always make me happy. I dont think I lose my senses more with Hansi than with God. I dont know if you wanted to guide me toward this slowness. Maybe you think Hansi isnt perverse enough for me."

"Your father was weak like you. Maybe now you know desire reduces us to weakness."

"And as they did not like to acknowledge God, God delivered them over to a discerning mind, to do unsuitable things: being filled with all injustice, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, homicidal thoughts, strife, deceit, bad habits; whisperers, revilers, enemies of God. Some who understand the law of God still practice such actions. They are worthy of death. They not only do them, but even commend those who practice them."

"Would you accept to be the mother of a god? To be Mary? Why are sons always asked to be gods?"

"Even if were thousands of kilometers apart. We must refuse together the world of those patiently waiting for death to enlighten them. We must turn our backs to them with pride."

"Your father is dead. I wont lie to you anymore. You must admit that Im worse than him. I dont deserve your respect. What do you think Ive been doing every afternoon all these years? Why were you raised by your grandmother? What did you imagine? Look at me, Pierre! Im a bitch. A slut. No one respects me. Your father knew. He allowed it. If you really love me, then admit that Im disgusting. I want you to love me for that. For the shame I inspire in you."

"The last lap is always the best!"

"The pleasure only begins the moment the worm is in the fruit."

"Loulou: This goes to your mother. The Mediterranean bitch."

"The origin of the world is this hole. Nowhere else. Never believe those who pretend otherwise."
