Queen Christina

Movie Queen Christina
Year 1933
Queen Christina: I have been memorizing this room. In the future, in my memory, I shall live a great deal in this room.
Chancellor: There are rumors that your Majesty is planning a foreign marriage.
Queen Christina: They are baseless.
Chancellor: But your Majesty, you cannot die an old maid.
Queen Christina: I have no intention to, Chancellor. I shall die a bachelor!
Queen Christina: Must we live for the dead?
Oxenstierna: For the great dead, yes, Your Majesty.
Magnus: I am your destiny, Christina.
Queen Christina: Are you? I long to escape my destiny.
Magnus: You will long to return to it.
Antonio: It's all a question of climate. You cannot serenade a woman in a snowstorm. All the graces in the art of love - elaborate approches that will make the game amusing - can only be practiced in those countries that quiver in the heat of the sun.
Queen Christina: One can feel nostalgia for places one has never seen.
Antonio: You are very pretty, Elsa. Are you also good?
Elsa: When I do not like a man, yes.
Queen Christina: That's a true virtue.
Antonio: The basis of all morality in a sentence.
Queen Christina: I have *imagined* happiness. But happiness you *cannot* imagine. Happiness you must feel! Joy, you must feel!
Antonio: There's a mystery in you.
Queen Christina: Is there not in every human being?
Queen Christina: I have quite a collection of royal portraits. My suitors usually come in oil. And I've kept them--because I love a good painting.
Queen Christina: [on the street protests about her private life] Evidently my people, who are said to love me, do not wish me to be happy.
Queen Christina: Snow is like a wide sea. One could go out and be lost in it, and forget the world... and oneself.
