Quotes:
Lucy Honeychurch: Mother doesn't like me playing Beethoven. She says I'm always peevish afterwards.::Reverend Beebe: Naturally one would be... stirred up.
George Emerson: My father says there is only one perfect view, and that's the view of the sky over our heads.::Cecil Vyse: I expect your father has been reading Dante.
Charlotte Bartlett: I shall never forgive myself.::Lucy Honeychurch: You always say that, Charlotte, but you always do forgive yourself.
Mr. Emerson: I don't care what I see outside. My vision is within! Here is where the birds sing! Here is where the sky is blue!
Charlotte Bartlett: We all have our little foibles, and mine is the prompt settling of accounts.
George Emerson: He's the sort who can't know anyone intimately, least of all a woman. He doesn't know what a woman is. He wants you for a possession, something to look at, like a painting or an ivory box. Something to own and to display. He doesn't want you to be real, and to think and to live. He doesn't love you. But I love you. I want you to have your own thoughts and ideas and feelings, even when I hold you in my arms.
Freddy Honeychurch: Why does she look like that?::Lucy Honeychurch: Like what?::Freddy Honeychurch: [imitating Charlotte] Like Charlotte Bartlett.::Lucy Honeychurch: Because, she *is* Charlotte Bartlett.
Cecil Vyse: You must forgive me if I say stupid things. My brain has gone to pieces.
Lucy Honeychurch: Mother is calling, I have got to go. They trust me.::Mr. Emerson: Why should they, when you deceived everyone, including yourself?
Charlotte Bartlett: I would like to thank your father personally for his kindness to us.::George Emerson: You can't. He's in his bath.
