Carol Beldon: I know how comfortable it is to curl up with a nice, fat book full of big words and think you're going to solve all the problems in the universe. But you're not, you know. A bit of action is required every now and then.


--Teresa Wright (as Carol Beldon) in Mrs. Miniver

Lark Ingoldsby: [to Selina] As long as I am in this house. This is my room.
[shouts]
Lark Ingoldsby: Get out of it!


--Teresa Wright (as Lark Ingoldsby) in Enchantment

Lark Ingoldsby: You'll listen to reason, not to me. The Danes have always listened to the reasons instead of their hearts.
General Sir Roland Dane a.k.a Rollo: Let's not get angry.
Lark Ingoldsby: I am not angry, I'm lost. Pelham is in love with me. I can't stay here and hurt him.
General Sir Roland Dane a.k.a Rollo: Pelham?
Lark Ingoldsby: Selina knows that if you go without me I must leave this house, too. I can't wait for you, Rollo!

Peggy Stephenson: I've made up my mind.
Al Stephenson: Good girl.
Milly Stephenson: To do what?
Peggy Stephenson: I'm going to break that marriage up! I can't stand it seeing Fred tied to a woman he doesn't love and who doesn't love him. Oh, it's horrible for him. It's humiliating and it's killing his spirit. Somebody's got to help him.

Regina Giddens: [Final lines] Would you like to talk to me, Alexandra? Would you... like to sleep in my room tonight?
Alexandra Giddens: Why, mama?... Are you afraid?


--Teresa Wright (as Alexandra Giddens) in The Little Foxes

Regina Giddens: Alexandra, I've come to the end of my rope, somewhere there's got to be what I want too. Life goes too fast. You can go where you want, do what you want, think what you want. I'd like to keep you with me but I won't make you stay. No, I won't make you stay.
Alexandra Giddens: [Thoughtful] You couldn't Mama. Because I don't want to stay with you. Because I'm beginning to understand about things. Addie said there were people who ate the earth and those that stood around and watched them do it. And just then Uncle Ben said the same thing. Really the same thing. Tell him from me Mama, I'm not going to watch you do it.

Eleanor Gehrig: Lou Gehrig, I could learn to like you.
