" Rose: A real sacrifice is giving up something you want or enjoy very much, isn't it?
Alec: Yes.
Rose: Doing it one's own self because one loves another person very much and wants her to be happy?
Alec: Yes.
Rose: And doing it pleasantly, and being glad about it, and not minding the praise if it doesn't come?
Alec: Yes dear, that is the true spirit of self-sacrifice... "
