Since February 2, the film "Wings of Desire" is in Russian theaters, giving us not only iconic images of angels and Nick Cave, but also many memorable phrases.

It's hard to find a more literary film in its content than Wim Wenders' "Wings of Desire". The dialogues and monologues of the characters contain deep philosophical reflections and capture simple everyday truths that are often forgotten. In honor of the re-release of this classic of European cinema, we recall the most striking quotes from the film.

When the child was a child, he couldn't stand spinach, green peas, rice pudding, and boiled cauliflower. Now he eats all of that, and not because he has to.
When the child was a child, he once woke up in a strange bed. Now he does so all the time.
… back then many people seemed beautiful to him, now only a few.
… he had a clear idea of paradise, now he can only guess.
… back then he didn't think about non-existence, now he trembles before it.
When the child was a child, his life was an inspired game. Now inspiration sometimes visits him during work…

Time heals everything. But what if time itself is the disease?

I don't know if fate exists. But I know that the possibility to make a decision exists.

No one has yet managed to create an epic about peaceful life. Why can't peace inspire a storyteller, why is it so hard to describe?

If you hurry, time flies. Time is a servant if you are its master. Time is your God if you are its dog.

Loneliness means you have found wholeness.

You, whom we love so much: you don't see us, you don't hear us, you think we are so far away from you, but we are so close!

"Wings of Desire" is in theaters from February 2 thanks to the company RWV.
