Bridgerton Quotes

Latest quotes added:

Colin Bridgerton: I have spent so long trying to feel less, trying to be the kind of man society expects me to be. And for a moment, I thought I had succeeded. But these past few weeks have been full of confounding feelings. Feelings like a total inability to stop thinking about you. About that kiss. Feelings like dreaming of you when I'm asleep. And in fact preferring sleep because that is where I might find you. A feeling that is like torture. But one which I cannot, will not, do not want to give up.

Penelope Featherington: Please. Do not say things you do not mean.

Colin Bridgerton: But I do mean it. It is everything I have wanted to say to you... for weeks.

Penelope Featherington: But... Colin, we are friends.

Colin Bridgerton: Yes, but we... Forgive me. Um... I do not know what I was thinking.

Penelope Featherington: But I'd very much like to be more than friends. So much more.

Penelope Featherington (about Lord Debling): He did not propose. In fact, he rejected me because of you. Because the scene you caused led him to believe you have feelings for me. An idea so preposterous, I do not know what to do besides laugh. Now, will you please let us ride home in silence and leave me alone.

Colin Bridgerton: I cannot.

Penelope Featherington: Please!

Colin Bridgerton: I cannot. Because... What if I did have feelings for you?

Portia Featherington (about Lord Debling): Where is he going? What have you done?

Penelope Featherington (crying): That is your question? Not am I well? Do I only matter to you if I have a lord's engagement ring on my finger?

(Cressida and Lord Debling are watching Colin and Penelope...)

Cressida Cowper: They do seem upset, do they not? Eros and Psyche battling it out.

Alfred Debling: What you are trying to say, Miss Cowper? Are they not old friends?

Cressida Cowper: The oldest of friends, really. Ever since the Featheringtons moved in across the street.

Alfred Debling: Across the street from the Bridgerton house?

Cressida Cowper: Directly.

Alfred Debling: I see.

Cressida Cowper: You are unlike many people, Eloise. How is it you have the courage to be so different?

Eloise Bridgerton: It is not courage. I simply cannot understand why others do not see things the way I do.

Violet Bridgerton: Oh, you do not look well. Was it you I heard lumbering in the hallway late last night?

Colin Bridgerton: I am... well.

Violet Bridgerton: You know... you have always been one of my most sensitive children. Always aware of what others need. Always trying to be helpful or offering a joke to lighten the mood. You so rarely put yourself first. I am proud of your sensitivity. But living to please others? I imagine it can be wearying at times. Painful, perhaps. So, I do not blame you for putting on armor lately. But you must be careful that the armor does not rust and set so that you might never be able to take it off.

Portia Featherington: Penelope... you have spent your pin money changing your clothes, your hair, and it has had the desired effect. Lord Debling is a bird in the hand, and a very fine bird at that. Do not become greedy in your success. What more could you want? Oh, do not tell me you're holding out for love. Ugh! This is the very reason why I discouraged you from reading. Love is make-believe. It is only in your storybooks. Do you know what is romantic? Security. Be smart, Penelope. And if you will not be, then I will be for you.

John Stirling: May I join you a moment?

Francesca Bridgerton: I should like that.

(They sit next to each other, smiling, rest of the Bridgertons watching them from afar...)

Gregory Bridgerton: She does not speak to him.

Eloise Bridgerton: I am in awe. I thought one had to use wit or banter to dissuade a suitor. But simple silence is radically more effective.

Hyacinth Bridgerton: Perhaps they are enjoying themselves.

Violet Bridgerton: But how will they know each other if they do not speak?

Lady Whistledown: Suffice it to say, this author is captivated. For in the battle between man and nature, it is quite clear that the battle is, in fact, between man... and himself.

Colin Bridgerton: As you consider suitable matches for Francesca, what do you hope she finds?

Violet Bridgerton: I... wish for Francesca the same thing I wanted for myself, for Anthony, for Daphne. Passion, excitement, a love that is thrilling.

Colin Bridgerton: But I thought you believed the best foundation for great love was friendship.

Violet Bridgerton: Indeed, I do. It is how your father and I began. But it is rare to begin as friends and for both parties to then feel more.

Colin Bridgerton: Mm. And how did you and Father know it was reciprocated?

Violet Bridgerton: Because he gathered the courage to ask.

(Colin looks Pen's way, Violet notices...)

Colin Bridgerton: Uh... Well... I hope if Francesca finds it, she is brave enough to ask the question.

Violet Bridgerton: I hope she is as well.

Penelope Featherington: It does not bother you that I do not wish to spend my time exploring the wilds of nature?

Alfred Debling: Heavens, no. If I only ever talked about nature, my dinner party invitations would cease altogether. I do not wish to court someone exactly like myself. I want to be with someone who knows who they are and embraces their own peculiarity, as I do. As I believe you do as well.

Penelope Featherington: The person I was earlier today... I was pretending to be someone I am not. And I do not wish to do that anymore. The person that I am, I'm someone who enjoys society and gossip, even if I do occasionally hide at a soirée. I am someone who enjoys a good book more than exploring the natural world, someone... who does enjoy watching birds, but specifically from the windowsill, I'm... someone who is overexplaining themselves at the moment.

Alfred Debling (smiles): How many yous are there, exactly? And where do you hide them all?

Tilley Arnold: I have had seasons to mourn, and I am in no hurry to find another husband, so you do not need to fear me plotting to ensnare you.

Benedict Bridgerton: Oh. I am not afraid of you.

Tilley Arnold: That... is a mistake.

Francesca Bridgerton: Are you escorting me tonight?

Benedict Bridgerton: More like using you as a shield.
