 "Histories, like ancient ruins, are the fictions of empires. While everything forgotten hangs in dark dreams of the past, ever threatening to return..." [narrator]
"I want to be a pop idol." [Oscar Wilde]
"For once there was an unknown land, full of strange flowers and subtle perfumes, a land of which it is joy of all joys to dream, a land where all things are perfect and poisonous." [Narrator]
"Put out the torches! Hide the moon! Hide the stars!" [Kid]
"I like boys, I like girls. They're all great. There's no difference, is there? Mr. BBC." [Brian's Fan]
"Rock music has always been a reaction against accepted standards. And homosexuality has been going on for centuries. At the moment having a 'gay' image is the 'in' thing, just like a few years ago it was trendy to wear a long gray coat with a Led Zeppelin record under your arm." [Trevor]
"Everyone's into this scene because it's supposedly the thing to do right now. But you just can't fake being gay. You know, if you're gonna... claim that you're gay you're gonna have to... make love in gay style, and... half of these kids... just aren't gonna make it. That line, 'Everybody's bisexual', that's a very popular thing to say right now. Personally, I think it's meaningless." [Curt Wild]
"Meaning is not in things but in between them." [Norman Brown]
"I knew I should create a sensation, gasped the Rocket, and he went out." [Brian]
"Ten years. Ten years and the world had changed so completely that the life I led in England seemed like someone else's life. Someone else's story. Anyone's but mine." [Arthur]
"There were times when it appeared to Dorian Gray that the whole of history was merely the record of his own life, not as he had lived it in act and circumstance, but as his imagination had created it for him, as it had been in his brain and in his passions. He felt that he had known them all, those strange terrible figures that had passed across the stage of the world and made sin so marvelous and evil so full of subtlety. It seemed to him that in some mysterious way their lives had been his own." [Arthur's teacher]
"I dunno..I dunno, it got too big I guess. It got too schizoid, you know? I mean...he thought he fucking was Maxwell Demon in the end - you know? And Maxwell Demon...he thought he was God." [Curt Wild]
"(Brian Slade was) like nothing I'd ever seen before. And in the end...like nothing he appeared." [Cecil]
"So what are you, a mod or a rocker?" [Brian's Girlfriend] "Six of one, half a dozen of the other, really." [Brian]
"Style always wins out in the end." [Cecil]
"Everything, it seems, started at the Sombrero. No club in London had more notorious sway, and in the center of it was Brian's American wife, Mandy, who's dramatic transformation to London party girl was a constant source of amusement to us all." [Cecil]
"You all know me - subtlety's my middle name. It's as subtle as the piece of skin between my vagina and my anus - ooh la! la!" [Mandy]
"I know. I just... just wish it'd been me. Wish I'd thought of it." [Brian] "You will, love. You will." [Mandy]
"It doesn't really matter what a man does with his life. What really mater is the legend that grows up around him." [Jerry Devine]
"Every story needs a contrary opinion, and with Mandy... you're guaranteed excess of both." [Cecil]
"From the moment Brian Slade stepped into our lives, nothing would ever be the same." [Mandy]
"Time, places, people... They're all speeding up. So to cope with this evolutionary paranoia, strange people are chosen, who through their art can move progress more quickly?" [Mandy to Brian]
"Rock and roll's a prostitute. It should be tarted up, performed. The music is the mask, while I in my chiffon and taffeta... Well, varda the message." [Brian]
"Today, there'd be fighting in the streets. But in 1972...it was more like dancing." [Mandy]
"The Secret of becoming a star is knowing how to behave like one." [Jerry Devine]
"Hey, kids, let's put on a show!" [Cooper]
"Curt Wild. I want to meet Curt Wild." [Brian]
"I just wanted to say...I think your music is tops - really, smashing - best of the lot." [Brian]
"See, heroin was my main man, but now I'm on the methadone, and I'm getting my act together, and you come here and say you wanna help, and I say hey, far out. You could be my main man." [Curt to Brian]
"Every great century that produces art is, so far, an artificial century, and the work that seems the most natural and simple of its time is always the result of the most self-conscious effort." [Jerry Devine]
"What's true about music is true about life. That beauty reveals everything because it expresses nothing." [Mandy]
"The first duty in life is to assume a pose. What the second duty is no one has yet found out." [Freddy]
"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person! Give him a mask and he'll tell you the truth!" [Brian]
"Nothing makes one so vain as being told one is a sinner." [Brian]
"Quite soon actually we plan to take over the world." [Brian]
"I raise my glass to the loveliest man in Europe." [Curt to Brian]
"The world is changed because you are made of ivory and gold. The curves of your lips rewrite history." [Curt to Brian]
"It's funny how beautiful people look when they're walking out the door." [Mandy]
"Brian's a grown man, and quite capable of shagging whatever he fancies, and exceedingly partial to the practice." [Mandy]
"Just because someone sees, you know two naked people asleep in bed together...it doesn't necessarily prove sex was involved. It does, however, make for a very strong case." [Mandy]
"Go on, then! Back to your wolves! Your junkie twerps! Your bloody shock treatment! And fuck you too!" [Brian to Curt]
"Smiles lie." [Mandy]
"You live in terror of not being misunderstood." [Mandy]
"Women defend themselves by attacking, just as they attack by sudden and strange surrenders" [Brian to Mandy]
"It was the idea of Curt more than anything, this... image. That no one, of course, could ever possibly live up to. I mean Maxwell Demon, Curt Wild... they were fictions!" [Mandy]
"Come closer. Don't be frightened. What's your name? Favorite color? Song. Movie. Don't be nervous. Are you high?" [Curt to Arthur]
"Make a wish. And see yourself, on-stage, inside out! A tangle of garlands in your hair. Of course you are pleasantly surprised." ("Softly, he said..."-Arthur) "I will mangle your mind." [Curt with Arthur]
"We set out to change the world... ended up just changing ourselves." (What's wrong with that?" -Arthur) "Nothing. If you don't look at the world." [Curt to Arthur]
"A real artist creates beautiful things and puts nothing of his own life into them." [Curt to Arthur]
