Quotes from

Helena Charles: God Jimmy, what's going to become of us?
Jimmy Porter: I don't know.


Jimmy Porter: If you slap me, by God I'll lay you out.
Helena Charles: You would, you're the type.
Jimmy Porter: You bet I'm the type, the type that hates physical violence.


Alison Porter: I suppose none of this could ever really have worked. I do love you Jimmy, I shall never love anyone as I love you, but I can't go on, I can't take part in all this suffering, I can't.
Jimmy Porter: It's no good fooling about with love you know. You can't fall into it like a soft job without dirtying up your hands. It takes muscle and guts. If you can't bear the thought of messing up your nice, tidy soul, you better give up the whole idea of life and become a saint, because you'll never make it as a human being. It's either this world... or the next.
