Quotes 

  • Krystyna : Look. An old crypt. An inscription. "So often are you as a blazing torch with flames of burning hemp falling about you flaming, you know not if the flames bring freedom or death, consuming all that you most cherish. Will only ashes remain, and chaos whirling into the void." The letters are blurred. I can't read it.

    Maciek Chelmicki : It's by Norwid. "Or will the ashes hold the glory of a starlike diamond, the Morning Star of everlasting triumph."

    Krystyna : That's beautiful. "Or will the ashes hold the glory of a starlike diamond..." And what are we?

    Maciek Chelmicki : You - are definitely a diamond.

  • Krystyna : In a hurry?

    Maciek Chelmicki : No, I'm meeting someone.

    Krystyna : A woman?

    Maciek Chelmicki : Happy?

    Krystyna : Who?

    Maciek Chelmicki : You.

    Krystyna : Me?

  • Krystyna : Why do you always wear those dark glasses?

    Maciek Chelmicki : A souvenir of unrequited love for my homeland.
