Vincent quotes from Beauty and the Beast

Vincent

I remember thinking, that there would be less pain for those I love (if he had never been born or lived)

Nothing of what you knew remains.

Paracelsus

He shall be the greatest who is the lowliest, the most hidden, the most deviating; a human being beyond good and evil.

Vincent

Beyond good and evil is only death.

Paracelsus

Take the beast! Now, cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet prince.

Vincent

Everything's gone.

You were not there to stop him. Knowledge and beauty are fragile things; they need protection.

Vincent

But I was only a baby.

But even as baby, you were a symbol to the community and you died hope and possibility died with you. People lost heart.

Vincent

Is there nothing I can do for them?

Nothing. It is already done.

Mouse has no language. You were not there to reach out to him.

Vincent

Was there no one else?

No, no one.

Vincent

There was a child, a baby, found among the garbage of St.Vincent's Hospital.

Wrapped in rags.

Vincent

You took him in and raised him as your son. But he was not an ordinary child, he was different from the others. What happened to the child? Tell me.

He died...he died.

Vincent

She is gone

Is she?

Vincent

I have no sense of her.

She never knew you.

Vincent

You said she was still alive?

She did not die, but her spirit is gone.

Vincent

Catherine's spirit could never change; never.

You were not there to strengthen her heart.

Nothing is ever lost. We are all on a journey. We create that journey for each other.

Vincent

I do not know what to believe.

Yes, you do. Remember love.

Vincent

Catherine! It was a dream, a terrible dream. Everything was changed. I could not wake up.

Catherine

It's over now. I'm here.

Vincent

Yes, I thought I had lost you.

Catherine

Vincent, don't you know you could never lose me? We could never lose each other as long as we remember.

Vincent

Remember?

Catherine

Remember love.

It is difficult leaving. It's - how you English writers say?

Vincent

Shakespeare?

Yeah.

Vincent

"Parting is such sweet sorrow".

Yes, its that, sweet and sad. He was a little bit Russian, I think.

Vincent

Perhaps, we should go back.

I must go on.

Vincent

Are you strong enough?

For Anna, very strong...You, Vincent, understand me best of all. Yes? Little bit of Russian in you, too.

Vincent

I watched you a moment ago with Ellie.

Catherine

My mother used to sing me that song. I have not heard it since. I think she must have made it up.

Vincent

[sighing] You are remarkable.

Catherine

[smile in her voice] I hope you were not talking about my singing.

Vincent

No, I'm not...How much you give to them...to all of us.

Catherine

To be able to give is what all of you have given to me.

Vincent

I have something very hard to tell you, Eric. No words of mine will make it any easier.

Eric

Is it about Ellie? Is she better now?

Vincent

She wanted to get better, to come back to you. She fought with all the strength she had in her. But sometimes, bad things can happen in life, and all our courage and all our love cannot change that.

Eric

Ellie will get better. She promised.

Vincent

Ellie loved you very much, Eric, but we cannot always keep our promises no matter how much we try or how much we love.

Eric

Ellie will. She's different.

Vincent

Eric...Ellie is gone.

Eric

You liar! Liar! [pelts Vincent with his fists]

Vincent

They need you, Father. Eric needs you.

Eric. Ellie was the last family he had in all the world.

Vincent

No. He has us. But he does not know that now. He ran off. He is all alone with his fear and his grief.
