    The lover walks a tightrope, laughs loudly, but is fragile and undefended. The bad lover walks everywhere, fierce and evil, but lonely and doesn't understand love. The big-eyed angels who play trumpets and trumpets can only play themselves and stay behind for others. On this planet, there are countless roads and countless roads. When a clear soul meets a lonely heart, time is a luxury.

La Strada quotes

  • Gelsomina's Mother: Gelsomina, Zampanò's a good man. He'll treat you well. You'll travel the world. You'll sing and dance. And look what he gave me: 10,000 lire! I have it here, 10,000 lire! We can fix the roof and these poor things can eat. Why did your father ever leave us?

  • Zampanò: Come here. There should be something here to fit you. I want you to look elegant. I don't want to see you in rags. My women have always looked smart.
