Breaking the Waves
Movie Quote Quiz

Jan Nyman: Love is a mighty power, isn't it?

The Minister: Can you think of anything of real value that the outsiders have brought with them?
Bess McNeill: Uh... their music.

The Minister: We do not need bells in our church to worship God.

Dodo McNeill: Not one of you has the right to consign Bess to hell.

Bess McNeill: I don't understand what you're saying. How can you love a word? You cannot love words. You can't be in love with a word. You can only love another human being. That's perfection.

Continuity mistake: When Bess waits for Jan to arrive by helicopter there are some long strands hanging over her face. The camera cuts briefly to the helicopter and back to Bess, and the strands are gone. (00:02:30)
