Quotes 

• Katerina Durová : I gather that you're arguing about some nonsense, shouting as if money were at stake. My husband chatters quite often. I've had to beg it since I was 17, as I married young. I could've had my pick of better young men than the Master here. However, Antonin beat up my suitors and stole the keys, which conveniently opened my door. And he bothered me until marriage became a necessity.

• Katerina Durová : This summer is capricious. It rained yesterday and it will rain again today.

• Katerina Durová : Only a fool serves the past and doesn't enjoy the present.

• Katerina Durová : You almost resemble a guard I used to know quite intimately in my youth. Come help me. Oh, the guard was handsome and quarrelsome like you. I offered him all I found proper to tame his temper. Nevertheless, he opened buttons too fast and drank one bottle after another.

• Katerina Durová : They deceived me by drenching their clothes!

  Priest : Look at Antonin. Do you think this oaf could win such a pretty girl? Are you sure it was the magician's Anna?

  Maj. Hugo : Canon Roch is right. Maybe it was a granny picking mushrooms. Your husband tends to be unchaste, but he's old now.

  Katerina Durová : I know him better than anyone how old he is. But this slut did not come from mushrooms.

• Katerina Durová : Open up! Open up, you derelict and shameful womanizer! Damned be this state of affairs! I get only shame and injustice. I could've chosen from a pack of men and which one did I pick? A nincompoop in love with hot young things! A beggar looking everywhere for pretty plumage!
