Quotes 

• Franz Liszt : Don't you ever dream of an affair with no end?

  Lola Montes : Oh! Dreaming! Dreams are private. We can't share them with anybody, they are sometimes pretty embarrassing.

  Franz Liszt : Embarrassing! Why? Because they don't last?

  Lola Montes : Maybe!

  Franz Liszt : Because there's an awakening? You just have to cling to them, live them before it's too late, right?

  Lola Montes : Life for me is - a movement.

• Franz Liszt : Thank you for your lie, thank you for allowing me to believe that I'm the one leaving, not you.

• Lola Montes : One night we'll be in the same town. I'll be dancing and you'll be giving a concert.

  Franz Liszt : It would have to be a really big town.

  Lola Montes : But we'll share the same public. I'll leave my theater in time to hear your encore. I'll applaud you and come backstage. Will you be pleased?

  Franz Liszt : Yes.

  Lola Montes : You'll have a date with another woman, and I with another man, and we won't go.

  Franz Liszt : No, we won't go.

  Lola Montes : For one night we'll hide together. We will be together as we are now. Won't it be wonderful?

  Franz Liszt : It will be wonderful.

• Franz Liszt : Ravishing. So, Lola...

  Lola Montes : Goodbye. Goodbye, Franz.

  Franz Liszt : I see that you are true - to my music! Goodbye.
