Movie Quote of the Day (Renoir)

“You see, in this world, there is one awful thing, and that is that everyone has his reasons."
—Octave (played by Jean Renoir), in The Rules of the Game (1939), directed by Renoir, written by Renoir and Carl Koch
(This comedy-drama of the French ruling class appears regularly on lists of the 10 greatest films of all time. After seeing it, you’ll understand why, as well as how it has influenced films as varied as Woody Allen’s Manhattan and Robert Altman’s Gosford Park.)
