I can't help but find these quotes rather appealing:
"Vanity and happiness are incompatible"
"Illusions are, by their nature, sweet"
"One does not applaud the tenor for clearing his throat"
Strangely, these are spoken by Marquise de Merteuil.

Best dialogue in any film in my opinion. Each line is like a perfect photograph. Instantly classic

That's some mighty praise but the material is totally worthy of it, it is superbly written stuff and the delivery from the actors is terrific too.
My favourite movie for dialogue is
Lawrence of Arabia
, and while it's infinitely quotable I'll admit the dialogue isn't quite as sharp as it is in
Dangerous Liaisons
.

so many movies, so little time

"One of the reasons why I never remarried despite a bewildering range of offers was the determination to never again be ordered around! I must therefore ask you to adopt a less marital tone of voice."
