Camille:

In gay parlance, a person who goes from one tragic love-affair to the next, especially one who delights in his misfortune, based on the character played by Greta Garbo in the movie of the same name.

Quote: Marguerite Gautier (Greta Garbo) to Armand Duval (Robert Taylor) in Camille (1936):

(1) ' I've loved you as much as I could love . If that wasn't enough I'm not to blame. We don't make our own hearts .'

(2) ' Let me love you, let me live for you, but don't let me ask anymore from Heaven than that. God might get angry .'
