  • Julia Quinn Quote #1

    A man with charm is an entertaining thing, and a man with looks is, ofcourse, a sight to behold, but a man with honor - ah, he is the one, dear reader, to which young ladies should flock.

  • Julia Quinn Quote #2

    And if that weren't bad enough, the next sound he heard was a loud click.
    The damned woman had locked him out. She'd taken all the food and locked him out.
    You'll pay for this! he yelled at the door.
    Do be quiet, came the muffled reply. I'm eating.

  • Julia Quinn Quote #3

  • Julia Quinn Quote #4

    And she never knew that he laid awake the whole time, his lips at her temple, his hand against her hair.
    Whispering her name.
    Whispering other words as well.

  • Julia Quinn Quote #5

    And, she was able to tell herself with some satisfaction, the man in question - one Colin Bridgerton - felt precisely the same way....
    ....His earth shook, his heart leaped, and Penelope knew without a doubt that his breath was taken away as well. For a good ten seconds.

    Falling off a horse tended to do that to a man.

  • Julia Quinn Quote #6

    Anthony Bridgerton hátradolt bor karosszékében, elgondolkodva kortyolta a whiskyt; lötykölte, körbe áramoltatta a pohárban, majd megszólalt: - Arra gondoltam, hogy megnosülök.
    Benedict Bridgerton, aki éppen azon szokását gyakorolta, amit anyja annyira megvetett, nevezetesen székét két hátsó lábára billentve kissé kapatosan hintázott, erre lehuppant.
    Colin Bridgerton félrenyelt.
    Colin szerencséjére Benedict éppen idoben nyerte vissza egyensúlyát, hogy eroteljesen hátba verje, mire öccse egy zöld olívabogyót állított asztalt átívelo röppályára.
    Kis híján fülön találta Anthonyt.
    Anthony megjegyzés nélkül hagyta e méltatlanságot. Nagyon jól tudta, hogy hirtelen bejelentése a meglepetés erejével hatott.

  • Julia Quinn Quote #7

    Anthony Bridgerton leaned back in his leather chair,and then announced,
    I'm thinking about getting married.
    Benedict Bridgerton, who had been indulging in a habit his mother detested—tipping his chair drunkenly on the back two legs—fell over.
    Colin Bridgerton started to choke.
    Luckily for Colin, Benedict regained his seat with enough time to smack him soundly on the back, sending a green olive sailing across the table.
    It narrowly missed Anthony's ear.

  • Julia Quinn Quote #8

    Anthony looked down at his evil clutches -- hands, he reminded himself, hands -- and grinned anew.

  • Julia Quinn Quote #9

    Any man, you'll soon learn, has an insurmountable need to blame someone else when he is made to look a fool.

  • Julia Quinn Quote #10

    Are you all right?” he asked Olivia. His heart was still racing with terror that she’d been hurt. “I heard a woman scream.”

    “Ah, that would have been me,” Sebastian said.

    Harry looked down on his cousin, face frozen in disbelief. “You made that noise?”

    “It hurt,” Sebastian bit off.

    Harry fought not to laugh. “You scream like a leettle girl.

  • Julia Quinn Quote #11

    At present, however, with his aching head and queasy stomach, Sebastian was feeling exceedingly resistible. Or if not that, then resistant. Aphrodite herself could descend from the ceiling, floating on a bloody clamshell, naked but for a few well-placed flowers, and he‘d likely puke at her feet.

    No, no, she ought to be completely naked. If he was going to prove the existence of a goddess, right here in this room, she was damned well going to be naked.

    He‘d still puke on her feet, though.

  • Julia Quinn Quote #12

    Blake took a small roll from the tray on the table, then put it back in favor of a larger one. And maybe a little butter. It certainly couldn't hurt. And jam...no, he drew the line at jam. She was a spy, after all.

  • Julia Quinn Quote #13

    But Hyacinth Bridgerton, who at ten should have known the least about kisses of anyone, just blinked thoughtfully, and said, I think it's nice. If they're laughing now, they'll probably be laughing forever.

  • Julia Quinn Quote #14

    Caroline stamped her foot in frustration, but when it landed, it landed on something considerably
    less flat than the floor.
    Owww! he yelled.
    Oh! His foot!Sorrysorrysorrysorrysorrysorry , she mouthed.I didn't mean it.
    If you think I can understand that, he growled, you're crazier than I'd originally thought.

  • Julia Quinn Quote #15

    Caroline, do you value your neck?
    Yes, I'm rather fond of it. Why?
    Because if you don't shut up, I'm going to wring it.

  • Julia Quinn Quote #16

    Claptrap last week,” Lady D announced. “I think the priest is getting old.”
    Gareth opened his mouth, but before he could say a word, his grandmother’s cane swung around in a remarkably steady horizontal arc. “Don’t,” she warned, “make a comment beginning with the words, ‘Coming from you…’”
    “I wouldn’t dream of it,” he demurred.
    “Of course you would,” she stated. “You wouldn’t be my grandson if you wouldn’t.” She turned to Hyacinth. “Don’t you agree?”
    To her credit, Hyacinth folded her hands in her lap and said, “Surely there is no right answer to that question.”
    “Smart girl,” Lady D said approvingly.
    “I learn from the master.”
    Lady Danbury beamed. “Insolence aside,” she continued determinedly, gesturing toward Gareth as if he were some sort of zoological specimen, “he really is an exceptional grandson. Couldn’t have asked for more.”
    Gareth watched with amusement as Hyacinth murmured something that was meant to convey her agreement without actually doing so.
    “Of course,” Grandmother Danbury added with a dismissive wave of her hand, “he hasn’t much in the way of competition. The rest of them have only three brains to share among them.”
    Not the most ringing of endorsements, considering that she had twelve living grandchildren.
    “I’ve heard some animals eat their young,” Gareth murmured, to no one in particular.
    Hyacinth wrinkled her nose, as she always did when she was thinking hard. It wasn’t a terribly attractive expression, but the alternative was simply not to think, which she didn’t find appealing.

  • Julia Quinn Quote #17

    Colin decided then and there that the female mind was a strange and incomprehensible organ - one which no man should even attempt to understand. There wasn't a woman alive who could go from point A to B without stopping at C, D, X, and 12 along the way.

  • Julia Quinn Quote #18

    Darling, he said distractedly,about the moon...
    Yes?
    I don't think it matters whether you want it or not.
    What are you talking about?
    The moon. I think it's yours.
    Victoria yawned, not bothering to open her eyes. Fine. i'm glad to have it.
    But-- Robert shook his head. He was growing fanciful. the moon didn't belong to his wife. It didn't follow her, protect her. It certainly didn't wink at anybody.
    But he stared out the window the rest of the way home, just in case

  • Julia Quinn Quote #19

    Did you know I dream about your hair? I use to say it was the color of the sun at sunset, but I'm wrong. It's brighter than the sun, just as you are.

  • Julia Quinn Quote #20

    Did you know I have always suspected that men were idiots, Daphne ground out, but I was never positive until today.

  • Julia Quinn Quote #21

    Don’t tell me your name. It’s likely to awaken my conscience, and that’s the last thing we want.

  • Julia Quinn Quote #22

    Elizabeth, you resemble nothing so much as a hen trying to hatch a book.

  • Julia Quinn Quote #23

    Felicity, Mrs. Featherington interurupted, why don't you tell Mr. Brdgerton about your watercolors?
    For the life of him, Colin couldn't imagine a less interesting topic (except maybe for Phillipa's watercolors), but he nonetheless turned to the youngest Featherington with a friendly smile and asked, And how are your watercolors?
    But Felicity, bless her heart, gave him a rather friendly smile herself and said nothing but, I imagine they're fine, thank you.

  • Julia Quinn Quote #24

    He closed his eyes. The insides of his eyelids were a brownish black, not at all the same as the thick purple of the night. Darkness had so many colors. It was strange, that, and perhaps a little disquieting. But—

    ?Oh!?

    A foot slammed into his left calf, and he opened his eyes just in time to see a woman tumbling backward.

    Right onto his blanket.

    He smiled. The gods still loved him.

  • Julia Quinn Quote #25

    He loved her.
    He wanted her.
    He needed her.
    And he needed her now.

  • Julia Quinn Quote #26

    He murmured her name, tenderly taking her face in his hands. “I love you,” he said, his voice low and fervent. “I love you with everything I am, everything I’ve been, and everything I hope to be.”

    “I love you with my past, and I love you for my future.” He bent forward and kissed her, once, softly, on the lips. “I love you for the children we’ll have and for the years we’ll have together. I love you for every one of my smiles, and even more, for every one of your smiles.

  • Julia Quinn Quote #27

    He smacked the heel of his hand against his forhead, as if that could knock the mental picture out of his head. Hell, he though irritably, he didn't want to knock the image just out of his head. He wanted to send it clear across the room and out the window.

  • Julia Quinn Quote #28

    He smiled, and suddenly she knew that his words were true. Everything would be all right. Maybe not today and maybe not tomorrow, but soon. Tragedy couldn't coexist in a world with one of Colin's smiles.

  • Julia Quinn Quote #29

    He’d mesmerized her, held her soul captive. And she couldn’t move.
    “Unless you want more than a dream,” he said.
    She did.
    “Will you stay?” he whispered. “Or will you go?”
    She stayed. Heaven help her, she stayed.
    And Michael showed her just how romantic a library could be.

  • Julia Quinn Quote #30

    His mouth captured hers, trying to show her with his kiss what he was still learning to express in words. He loved her.
    He worshipped her. He'd walk across fire for her. He—

    —still had the audience of her three brothers.

    Slowly breaking the kiss, he turned his face to the side. Anthony, Benedict, and Colin were still standing in the foyer.
    Anthony was studying the ceiling, Benedict was pretending to inspect his fingernails, and Colin was staring quite shamelessly.
