Moulin Rouge Quotes

“Nature Boy

There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy
And sad of eye
But very wise
Was he

And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things, fools and kings
This he said to me
“The greatest thing
You’ll ever learn
Is just to love
And be loved
In return”
― Nat King Cole

“Leo stepped out from behind the dressing curtain in Mathilde’s bus wearing a black-and-silver corset with a skirt of sparkly fringe that barely made it past his hips, with elbow-length black satin gloves, fishnet stockings, and garters. The sight knocked me dizzy.

“The theme of the play,” I tried to explain, “is freedom, beauty, truth, and love. Right? Well, she has beauty, but she dies because she doesn’t have, or can’t learn to accept, enough of the other three."

Leo blinked at me. “She dies of tuberculosis, Vai.”
