Quotes 

• Prof. Walter Jameson : It's death that gives this world its point. We love a rose because we know it'll soon be gone. Whoever loved a stone?

• Professor Sam Kittridge : I thought if a man lived forever, he'd grow wiser. But that isn't true, is it?

  Prof. Walter Jameson : You just go on living, that's all.

• Prof. Walter Jameson : [as he is aging rapidly after being shot]  Nothing lasts forever. Thank God.

  [groans and collapses on the floor] 

• Professor Sam Kittridge : I'll tell her!

  Prof. Walter Jameson : She won't believe you. Nobody would. You won't believe it yourself by tomorrow morning.

• Professor Sam Kittridge : [Walter reveals he is a man in a Civil War photograph]  How old are you, Walter?

  Prof. Walter Jameson : You wouldn't believe me.

  Professor Sam Kittridge : I can believe anything now.

  Prof. Walter Jameson : All right. Let's say I'm old enough to have met this gentleman personally.

  [points to a marble bust of a Greek philosopher] 

  Professor Sam Kittridge : Plato? But that was over two thousand years ago!
