Mr. Touchett: Things are always different from what they might be.

Gilbert Osmond: I know plenty of dingy people. I don't want to know any more.

Isabel Archer: I'm rather ashamed of my plans. I make a new one every day.

Ralph Touchett: I call a person rich when he can meet the requirements of his imagination.

Ralph Touchett: I love you but without hope.

Isabel Archer: Why should there be pain then? That's not the deepest thing.
Ralph Touchett: Pain's deep... but it passes, after all. It's passing now but love remains.

Ralph Touchett: And remember this, that if you've been hated, you're also been loved.

Isabel Archer: My cousin. He's dying. I must go to him.
Gilbert Osmond: Your cousin was dying when we married. He'll outlive us all.

Gilbert Osmond: You don't lose your temper, you find it.
