Quotes 

• Petra the Maid : And then the summer night smiled for the third time.

  Frid the Groom : [to the audience]  For the sad, the depressed, the sleepless, the confused, the frightened, the lonely.

• Frid the Groom : We invoke love, call out to it, beg for it, cry for it, try to mimic it. We think we own it and tell lies about it.

  Petra the Maid : But we don't have it.

  Frid the Groom : No my sugar pie. We are denied the love of loving. We don't have the gift.

  Petra the Maid : Nor the punishment.

• Anne Egerman : Nearly everything that is fun is not virtuous.

  Petra the Maid : If so, hurrah for vice.
