Quotes edit see section history

  • “They say that a smart person learns from her mistakes. But a truly smart person learns from other people's mistakes.”
    Sophie Beckett
  • “Just because we of the female gender are not allowed to study at places like Eton and Cambridge doesn't mean our educations are any less precious.”
    Eloise Bridgerton
  • “We always have choices. We call it free will.”
    Benedict Bridgerton
  • “This Author is not certain what the punishment is these days for theft, but one has to suspect that if one has the audacity to steal from a countess, the punishment is quiet strict. The poor girl in question is likely to be hanged, or at the very least, find herself transported.”
    Lady Whistledown
  • “The aristocracy rarely pays for its crimes.”
    Lady Bridgerton
  • “When you don't make me want to scream; you make me smile.”
    Benedict Bridgerton
  • “It has oft been said that physicians make the worst patients, but it is the opinion of This Author that any man makes a terrible patient. One might say it takes patience to be a patient, and heaven knows, the males of our species lack an abundance of patience.”
    Lady Whistledown
  • “I would allow my children to marry paupers if it would bring them happiness.”
    Lady Bridgerton
  • “Sons of viscounts did not marry base born nobodies. Not even in romantic novels.”
    Sophie Beckett
  • “Once a servant, always a servant.”
    Mr. Crabtree
  • “I can live with you hating me, I just can't live without you.”
    Benedict Bridgerton
  • “Most of the world are fools.”
    Sophie Beckett
  • “"I want..." His voice dropped to a whisper, and his eyes looked vaguely surprised, as if he couldn't quite believe the truth of his own words. "I want your future. I want every little piece of you."”
    Benedict Bridgerton
  • “"I burn for you," he said, his lips touching her ear. "Every night, I lie in bed, thinking of you, wondering why the hell you're here with my mother, of all people, and not with me."”
    Benedict Bridgerton
  • “Her lips parted and softened, and he knew that he had to kiss her. Not that he wanted to, that he had to. He needed her next to him, below him, on top of him. He needed her in him, around him, a part of him. He needed her the way he needed air. And, he thought in the last rational moment before his lips found hers, he needed her right now.”
    Benedict Bridgerton

  • “I have been adrift all my life,” she whispered, and she felt the traitorous sting of tears prick her eyes. God above, she didn’t want to cry in front of this man. Not now, not when she felt so off-balance and weak. He touched her chin. “Let me be your anchor.”
