…and P. de St. V. wrote to understand the change that has come over Daae, it must be supposed that she has just discovered love for the first time! I am perhaps being indiscreet’, he went on, ‘but only love could bring about such a miracle, so overwhelming a transformation.

[…] Christine’s face lit up. A happy smile settled on her bloodless lips, a smile such as ill patients smile when they begin to hope that the sickness that struck them down will not carry them off.
‘I believe Christine really loves him!…Everything points to it. But that’s not my main concern. What I’m not sure of is whether the man Christine loves is worthy of her!’
‘You must let me be the judge of that, sir!’ said Christine
‘Then why are telling me all this?…You love him, it’s obvious! Your fear, your terror, it’s just another sort of love, the most delectable kind, a kind that you won’t admit to,’ Raoul explained bitterly
'You’re afraid of him… but do you love me?…If Erik was handsome, Christine, would you love me?’
'How can you say that?…Why tempt fate?… Why ask me things I keep hidden deep in my heart, where people always hide their sins?’
'Be careful, Christine, you’re turning him back into a spirit.’
'He’s no spirit. He’s a man who belongs to heaven and earth, nothing more.’
[…] as I knelt before her, I heard her say: “Poor, unhappy Erik!” and she took me by the hand!
