1. “You can choose to love me as much as I love you. That should not be up to anyone else. That cannot be up to anyone else. It can only be up to you.”
— Daphne Bridgerton
2. “You have no idea what it is to be a woman. What it might be like to have one’s entire life reduced to a single moment.”
— Daphne
3. “You deserve nothing less. You deserve everything your heart desires.”
— Simon
4. “To meet a beautiful woman is one thing, but to meet your best friend in the most beautiful of women is something entirely apart.”
— Simon
5. “Why must our only options be to squawk and settle or to never leave the nest? What if I want to fly?”
— Eloise
6. “I cannot stop thinking of you. From the mornings you ease, to the evenings you quiet, to the dreams you inhabit. My thoughts of you never end. I am yours. I have always been yours.”
— Simon
7. “Just because something is not perfect does not make it any less worthy of love.”
— Daphne
8. “You think that just because I am a woman, I am incapable of making my own choices?”
— Daphne
9. “What am I doing? I am doing the very thing I have always done. I am looking out for myself. I am ensuring my own future. Because I know in my heart… I know that there is no one else who ever will.”
— Siena Rosso
10. “I love all of you. Even the parts that you believe are too dark and too shameful. Every scar. Every flaw. Every imperfection. I love you.”
— Daphne
11. “All is fair in love and war, but some battles leave no victor, only a trail of broken hearts that makes us wonder if the price we pay is ever worth the fight. The ones we love have the power to inflict the greatest scars. For what thing is more fragile than the human heart?”
— Lady Whistledown
12. “We chose to love each other every single day. It is a choice, dearest, one that is never too late to make.”
— Lady Bridgerton
13. “You were not a fool. You merely believed yourself in love. One should never apologize for that.”
— Penelope Featherington
14. “When I was a girl, some centuries ago, I was afraid even of my own reflection. I entered a room and attempted to dissolve into the shadows. But there is only so long one in a position such as ours can hide. I knew I would have to step into the light someday, and I could not very well be frightened. So, instead, I made myself frightening. I sharpened my wit, my wardrobe, and my eye, and I made myself the most terrifying creature in any room I entered.”
– Lady Danbury
And that’s a wrap! Until next social season, dear reader!
