Bridgerton Quotes

Latest quotes added:

Lady Whistledown: A march down the aisle may very well be the longest walk any young lady ever takes. It does not simply cover the length of the church, but rather, countless floors for dancing, and meandering paths for every afternoon promenade too. It is a wonder, then, that feet do not tire or, heaven forbid, trip under the scrutiny of all those attentive eyes keeping close watch, indeed.

Kate Sharma: Please, Lord Bridgerton. Anthony. You must keep your word. You must marry my sister. You must marry her as soon as you can, because this feeling that plagues us so, it will pass. It will become tenable, it will become bearable, and soon enough, it will be as if we never felt it at all. Mere passion. It must because it has to.

Lady Whistledown: Duty. More than laws or faith, I have often thought it the bond that holds our fragile society together. Duty to rank and title. Fidelity to one's family name. It demands both utter obedience and total sacrifice. But what happens when such duty is in conflict with the heart's true desire? Why, then, there is the potential for a considerable scandal, indeed. The only question is, will the parties in question heed my warning? Or is it already too late to turn back to duty and away from desire?

Kate Sharma: I am leaving for India.

Anthony Bridgerton: And it is not far enough! Do you think that there is a corner of this Earth that you could travel to far away enough to free me from this torment? I am a gentleman. My father raised me to act with honor, but that honor is hanging by a thread that grows more precarious with every moment I spend in your presence. You are the bane of my existence. And the object of all my desires. Night and day, I dream of you. And what I... Do you even know all the ways a lady can be seduced? The things I could teach you.

Kate Sharma: I did not ask for this. To be plagued by these feelings. Hiding from my sister. Being driven to distraction every time you enter the room.

Anthony Bridgerton: Then you agree. It is insupportable.

Kate Sharma: Impossible.

Anthony Bridgerton: If I wed your sister, it will bind me and you together for eternity, and I will spend every day of my marriage wanting you, dreaming of you, dreading the day when my last thread of honor finally snaps. Is that the future that you want for us? For your sister?

(Daphne catches Anthony and Kate almost kissing, they have a conversation about it...)

Daphne Basset: There is obviously something between you. And I know that this is not as you would wish it, but you must be honest with yourself. Because, one way or another, these kind of feelings always have a way of coming to the surface.

Anthony Bridgerton: And what kind of feelings are those?

Daphne Basset: Well, love.

Eloise Bridgerton (to Lord Morrison): Next time you compliment a woman, at least try not to insult her entire sex in the process.

Eloise Bridgerton: "What worries you, masters you."

Lord Morrison: Ah. You have read Locke?

Eloise Bridgerton: I have. Have you?

Lord Morrison: Yes. It is required of all men past a certain age, surely. Not so much for young ladies.

Eloise Bridgerton: Because our feeble minds might collapse if we put too many ideas in them.

Lord Morrison: For most of the ladies I have met, that seems to be true. Many of them cannot even articulate a thought.

Eloise Bridgerton: Don't you think it's because they haven't been offered the same opportunities?

Daphne Basset: I've always imagined Anthony to be with someone more like him.

Violet Bridgerton: Sharp, quick, a little too exacting?

Daphne Basset: You know, every time I think my marriage has become simple, Simon and I find some new stone to turn over, a new foible that one of us needs the other to tease out and inspect. It is decidedly irritating. (Violet laughs) Yet incredibly gratifying at the same time. Miss Edwina is nearly perfect, but Anthony is a Bridgerton. Is there not something in all of us that requires a challenge?

Violet Bridgerton: Indeed, there is.

Kate Sharma: How did he die?

Anthony Bridgerton: He was stung by a bee.

(The realization hits Kate, as to why Anthony freaked out the other day when she was stung by a bee)

Kate Sharma: My lord, I... I am so sorry. I...

Anthony Bridgerton: To see a great man felled by such a small creature, it was, um... It was humbling, to say the least.

Marina Crane: You are a boy caught up in his own fantasies. In truth, I once thought that would be enough to save me from my reality. But what I learned is, I do not need saving in that way. What I need is to face up to my life and make my own practical decisions.

Colin Bridgerton: So you choose to be unhappy?

Marina Crane: We are not all guaranteed a fairy-tale ending. I am perfectly content with my children. And Sir Philip cares for me. He is a good father. We have built a life together. I am not the same woman you once knew. And I refuse to be thrust back into such a world of fantasy. That dream has long since passed.

Colin Bridgerton: Marina...

Marina Crane: You need to wake up, Colin.

Philip Crane: Did you visit the olive orchards in Lesvos?

Colin Bridgerton: I certainly did. I oiled my way right in. That was an olive joke.

Anthony Bridgerton: Ladies do not hunt.

Kate Sharma: Do not, or are not allowed to?

Penelope Featherington (to Madame Delacroix): It is your job to be observant, is it not? To hide your clients' secrets with a well-draped piece of fabric or a cleverly embellished rosette, just as I too hide. Behind my pen.

Benedict Bridgerton: The Royal Schools have accepted me as a student. I got in!

Colin Bridgerton: I thought they were not the arbiters of taste?

Benedict Bridgerton: They must see great promise in my work. Oh my! (opens the windows and leans out of it) You shall all bear witness to my talents!

Colin Bridgerton: Shh! It's the middle of the night!

Eloise Bridgerton: He will be as insufferable now as you.
