Quotes:

[first lines]::Anne: I never understood why girls had to be princesses and boys, vikings.

Anne: [Narrating] We are a hot-tempered family. That's my mom. And that's my dad. Dad likes Mom best when she's upset and breaks things. And Dad can glue them together. Yech! If that's love, I don't get it. But I don't have to worry about that. You can't fall in love at my age. I'm Anne Lunde: Ten years old, 145 centimeters tall, and I weigh 32 kilos. I love fish sticks, especially when I fry them myself. I don't like it when Dad forgets to put clothes on. Or, when insects pretend they are dead. And I hate it that everyone keeps talking about love. But that was before I met Jørgen Ruge. And before I ruined everything.

The beautiful Fanny can have any man that she wants to marry, but she sets her sights on Job Skeffington, the son of Russian-Jewish immigrants. Job's wealth was self-made in finance.

Job also realizes that Fanny does not love him, but is unaware of the real reason she agreed to marry him. After their marriage, Fanny's suitors are still around with more joining the ranks, which Job does not mind as he is aware that Fanny is not leading them on. But when the reason for Fanny marrying Job no longer exists, their relationship changes. They have to figure out what to do, which now takes into consideration their daughter, also named Fanny. As time goes on, they grow into middle age and Fanny's physical beauty deteriorates, Fanny comes to the realization of what is really important in life.

Fanny Trellis Skeffington: A woman's beautiful only when she is loved.

Trippy Trellis: [interrupting Mr. Skeffington] Oh, now I'm about to be challenged. He's gonna throw his cheque book in my face!::Trippy Trellis: [moments later] If Skeffington's a gentleman, then a swine is what I want to be.

Fanny Skeffington: I find one should never look for admirers while at the same time one is falling to bits.

Dr. Byles: I'm sorry to have to have to be so blunt with you, Mrs. Skeffington, but you're one of a vast army of silly women. Capital "S". Capital "W". You're over dressed, you're over made-up and you're most certainly over perfumed.::Fanny Trellis Skeffington: Dr. Byles, you are the rudest man I have ever met.::Dr. Byles: Did you come here to consult a gentlemen or a doctor?::Fanny Trellis Skeffington: I strongly suspect that you are neither!
