Quotes6

  • Gizella: [Narrating; scene shows her being lowered into a "therapy" tank of water at the asylum] I'll have you know that I am an arm of your God. God herself. I was the first living being. My upper part is the fiery sun, in the rays of which live the Souls of the Dead. The Sun is God itself. The Sun shoots off millions and millions of electric beams. Initially, as I became conscious, I started to revolve around myself. While circulating, an immense heat developed and compressed itself to Earth. This is how I created the Earth and the stars. I took God's name, but Evil resides in my cells. Yes, Evil is reigning over the world.
  • Gizella: [Still narrating, as she is re-submerged in the therapy tank] I have an arm for every person through which I govern the world. These invisible arms arrange people's fate, their every step and smallest action. I'm an arm of your God.
  • Gizella: The Evil One is constantly rummaging around in me. He settles in my lower parts, enters my vagina. He wants me to serve him, to be his whore, whose lower parts will help him maintain his power. I don't want this delight, but I struggle against him in vain, my hands keep getting there.
  • Dr. Brenner: Your writings are very interesting. Do you know that?
  • Gizella: I do.
  • Dr. Brenner: How long have you been writing?
  • Gizella: Since I was brought here.
  • Dr. Brenner: Why were you brought here?
  • Gizella: Because I'm mad.
  • Dr. Brenner: And why did you go mad?
  • Gizella: Why did I go mad?... Because I have no brain.
  • Gizella: The Devil makes you an offer every day, again and again, that you should be his, and then your life will change into gold, and your sufferings will cease in an instant and you'll get everything you want: happiness and time. Endless time.
  • Gizella: The Evil One doesn't gobble up your body in one go. He just eats little pieces of you, eating your flesh day by day, in tiny pieces. He wants to destroy you by slow torture because you rejected him.
  • Gizella: [Repeated line] I remember one afternoon, a breeze touched me lightly on the street.
