You can't ask me to battle nature in my own heart.

--- This will be the mistake of your life.
--- No, I made that many years ago. I trust you can see yourself out.

--- I fail to comprehend how far we are fully committed to the concept of freedom.
--- Freedom in moderation.
--- The concept of freedom is an absolute.

I love you in the way I understand love.

How wonderful to be that free.

--- We love each other.
--- I do not doubt it; he is a dreamer like yourself. You both dream of another world that does not exist, and never will.

--- Up and down, up and down. Why can't we recover like that?
--- It's too far to fall now.

--- You don't have to please others all the time.
--- It's what I've been brought up to do. Difficult lesson to unlearn.

--- Please tell me what is wrong.
--- I fear I've done some things in life too late and others too early.
- -- No, you haven't.

I don't make deals. Why would I? I'm in charge of it all.

Of all the women in England, you had to throw yourself on her.
I have never objected to any of your affairs.
I have accepted whatever arrangement you have proposed. But this...
I have one single thing of my own. Why couldn't you let me keep Elizabeth for myself?
What kind of man are you? She is my sole comfort in our marriage.
You have robbed me of my only friend. What is wrong with me?

--- There are limits to the sacrifices one makes for one's children.
--- No, there aren't. No limits whatsoever.
