"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return."
"Love? Love? Above all things, I believe in love. Love is like oxygen. Love is a many-splendored thing. Love lifts us up where we belong. All you need is love."
"Then I'll write a song and we'll put it in the show and whenever you sing it or hear it. Or whistle or hum it then you'll know. It'll mean that we love one another."
"It's just that it's quite long, and I want you to be comfortable. It's quite modern what I do."
"Thank you for curing me of my ridiculous obsession with love."
Satine: I can't believe it. I'm in love with a talented, rich, handsome duke.
"My gift is my song."
Duke: Why can't the courtesan marry the maharaja?!
Satine: [seducing Christian] Would you like a little champagne?
"I had come to Paris to write about freedom, truth, beauty and above all things, love. There was only one problem. I had never been in love."
"How wonderful life was now Satine was in the world."
"How could I have known that in those last fatal days, a force darker than jealousy and stronger than love had begun to take hold of Satine?"
"And then on one not so special day I sat at my typewriter and wrote her story. A story about a time, a story about a place. A story about the people but most of all, a story about love. A love that will live forever. The end."
Christian: Duke?
Satine: Not that the title's important, of course!
Christian: I'm not a duke.
Satine: Not a duke?
Christian: I'm a writer.
Satine: A writer?!
Christian: Because she doesn't love you!
Christian: I'd really rather just get on with it.
