Season 1
Lady Danbury: You must promise me that when you step into the light, you will be worthy of the attention you command.
Simon: It was not love at first sight for either of us... we found something far greater, we found friendship. I have never been a man that much enjoyed flirting, or chatting, or indeed conversation at all. But with Daphne, Miss Bridgerton, conversation has always been easy. Her laughter brings me joy. To meet a beautiful woman is one thing, but to meet your best friend in the most beautiful of women is something entirely apart. I want her to be my wife.
Violet: We chose to love each other, every single day. It is a choice, dearest. One that is never too late to make.
Simon: When one burn for someone who does not feel the same!
Season 2
Anthony: So you find my smile pleasing?
Kate: I find your opinion of yourself entirely too high. Your character is as deficient as your horsemanship. I shall bid you goodnight.
Lady Danbury: I have loved. I have lost. I have earned the right to do whatever I please, whenever I please, and however I please to do it.
Violet: Edmund was the air that I breathed. And now there is no air.
Daphne: 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: And what kind of feelings are those?
Daphne: Love!
Kate: But I am leaving for India!
Anthony: That is not far enough! Do you think 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 honour, but that honour 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. Do you even know all the ways a lady can be seduced? The things I could teach you.
Anthony: It is because I have never met anyone like you. It is maddening, how much you consume my very being... all I find myself thinking of, all I find myself being able to breathe for, is you. Do you think I want to be in this position? Contending with these thoughts of wanting to be nowhere except with you, wanting to run away with you. Of acting on the most impure forbidden desires no matter how much I must remind myself I am a gentleman, and you are a lady. Of that– of that scent. It has remained imprinted on my mind ever since the night of the conservatory ball on that terrace. Lilies...
Anthony: I love you. I've loved you from the moment we raced each other in that park. I've loved you at every dance, on every walk, every time we've been together and every time we've been apart. You do not have to accept it, you do not have to embrace it, or even allow it. Knowing you, you probably will not. But you must know it, in your heart. You must feel it because I do. I love you.
I want a life that suits us both. I know I am imperfect, but I will humble myself before you because I cannot imagine my life without you, and that is why I wish to marry you.
