Jules et Jim Quotes

“Tu m’as dit ‘’Je t’aime’’, je t’ai dit ‘’Attends’’. J’allais dire ‘’Prends-moi’’, tu m’as dit ‘’Va-t-en”
― françois truffaut, Jules et Jim

“Soon after they went back, Jules said to Jim: 'I love Magda. But it's a habit; it's not a great Love, not the real thing. To me, she's like a young mother and an attentive daughter, both at once.' 'But that's fine!' 'It's not the love I've always dreamed of having.' 'Does that kind of love exist?' said Jim. 'Of course! My love for Lucie.' Jim checked himself from saying, 'Because you do not possess her.' 'Besides,' Jules went on, 'knowing myself as I do, I shall never be able to forgive any woman for loving me. To love me is a sign of perversion or compromise -- and Lucie doesn't suffer from either. There's not a particle of me that she accepts.' 'With her, any man could think that.' 'Yes, could...' said Jules 'But I do.' 'Oh well,' said Jim, 'it's heroic and one can't help respecting it. It's a bit like martyrdom. And it's the key to your Life. If Lucie loved you...' 'She wouldn't be Lucie.' said Jules.”
― Henri Pierre Roche, Jules and Jim

― Henri-Pierre Roché, Jules et Jim

“O štěstí se vypráví špatně. Opotřebovává se také - a člověk to opotřebování ani nepozoruje.”
