100+ Best 'Bridgerton' Quotes from the Netflix Series

Daphne Basset: Seeing as though you were such a help to me last season, it would only be fair of me to return the favor.

Anthony Bridgerton: Is that a promise or a threat?

Lady Whistledown: There are two things that lurk within the dark and shadowy places of our fair city. Vermin and secrets. I shall leave it to you, dear reader, as to which do the most harm.

(Anthony tries to recite a poem Benedict wrote for him to present...)

Anthony Bridgerton: My apologies. I cannot do this. I cannot claim these words as my own. They are someone else's entirely. Truth be told, I'm not... I'm not a man of poetry. Words of flattery are beautiful and sweet, but they are also hollow unless accompanied by action. Miss Edwina, I could stand here and pretend to be someone I am not. I could pretend to want the very same things as you, but I'd be lying. I may not be able to... offer the display of passion that you truly deserve. But I assure you that when it comes to action and duty... I shall never be found lacking. And I hope that is what will speak louder than any pretty words ever can.

Benedict Bridgerton: "What is it, truly, to admire a woman? To look at her and feel inspiration. To delight in her beauty. So much so that all your defenses crumble, that you would willingly take on any pain, any burden for her. To honor her being with your deeds and words." That is what the true poet describes.

Anthony Bridgerton: You should apply yourself more often, Benedict. Write that down.

Anthony Bridgerton: I thought this sort of thing was supposed to be your pleasure.

Benedict Bridgerton: Poetry, yes. Byron, heavens, no.

Anthony Bridgerton: Is not everyone supposed to love Byron?

Benedict Bridgerton: Many in our year at Cambridge thought my poetry far superior to his.

Anthony Bridgerton: Does that mean yours is more or less deceitful?

Benedict Bridgerton: Deceitful?

Anthony Bridgerton: Mmm.

Benedict Bridgerton: Poetry is the opposite, Brother. It is the art of revealing precious truth with words.

Anthony Bridgerton: Quite right, Brother. You... You're being serious?

Benedict Bridgerton: Mm-hmm.

Anthony Bridgerton: Good God. Good night.

Colin Bridgerton: So I cleared my head, swore off women and love, and... Well, I only wanted to fully understand myself before stepping back into this world.

Penelope Featherington: You've sworn off women, then?

Colin Bridgerton: Well, for the time being.

Penelope Featherington: I am a woman.

Colin Bridgerton: You are Pen. You do not count. You are my friend.

Penelope Featherington: Of course. Your friend. How good to hear that.

Colin Bridgerton: I was not exactly lonely on my travels. I did begin a real conversation with someone. Someone I had known for a very long time. And yet, after everything that happened with Miss Thompson, I realized I never truly knew this person at all. Myself.

Penelope Featherington: Yourself?

Colin Bridgerton: I have you to thank. Your letters were so encouraging. I thought, if Penelope can see me this way, then surely I can too.

(Queen Charlotte is giving a tour to Edwina...)

Queen Charlotte: They are called "zebra." Striped horses from Africa, in fact. Seven more arrive next week. Though I can't think what to name them all. After 15 children, I seem to have run out of ideas.

Eloise Bridgerton: I am not here in search of gossip.

Theo Sharpe: No? Private information about the season's most eligible bachelor, then? Mmm?

Eloise Bridgerton: Your assumptions are not the least bit surprising. After all, a woman is allowed to have but two interests. Marriage, or spewing slander about her peers, apparently. It'd never occur to you that I am, in fact, hoping to find the writer so that we may discuss much more intellective matters. The rights of woman. The exploration of her mind, a mind which, I can already discern, is far, far superior to yours. Is the shock you seem to be displaying at present due to the fact that I appear well-read and articulate?

(Kate and Anthony are cheering for the races rather loudly and bickering which horse is better...)

Thomas Dorset: Should we separate them?

Edwina Sharma: It's all in good spirit. I think.

Anthony Bridgerton: It is only out of the greatest love of my family that I aim to choose a bride with my head and not my... heart.

Kate Sharma: Lord Bridgerton is quite adept at conveying false first impressions.

Lady Danbury: What did you hear?

Kate Sharma: He stated rather clearly that he seeks a wife only to fulfill his duty and does not believe in love at all.

Lady Whistledown: While this author finds Miss Edwina Sharma to be an exceptional young lady, it is about time I used these pages of record for something else. A shift. Is the entire practice of naming a diamond not... well, rather ridiculous? Should a woman not be valued for so much more than her dancing skills or her comportment? Should we not value a woman instead for her candor, her character, her true accomplishments? Perhaps if the queen abandoned this absurdity that is the diamond, we would all see that a woman can be so much more.

Eloise Bridgerton: Do you think that is why Cressida is so cruel?

Penelope Featherington: No. I think she just wears her hair too tight.

Penelope Featherington (to Eloise): No one truly notices me. I suppose that is what I like. When you're invisible, you have all the amusement you want without any of the expectations popularity brings. It frees you.
