"The very idea that a woman should marry any Tom, Dick, or Harry... regardless of her own feelings is simply prehistoric."

"Does seem silly, really. To put all that effort into... something that's just going to die."

"If a man hasn't what's necessary to make a woman love him... then it's his fault, not hers."

"That's exactly what I'm trying to say. I feel useless."

"For God sakes, will you stop punishing me?"

"There's nothing to forgive."

"No one important, darling."

"I knew when I married you that you were selfish and spoiled. But I loved you. I knew that you married me only to get as far away from your mother as possible... and I hoped that one day there'd be something more. I was wrong."

"I despise myself. For allowing myself to love you once."

"It doesn't matter now."

"Forgive me."

"Women are often under the impression that men are much more in love with them than they really are."

"These men are like animals. They have no vision. They only have hunger and strength. Men like this have held the real power in China since I was young. But that time is coming to an end. There's no place for them in the new China."

"I think China belongs to Chinese people... but the rest of the world seems to disagree."

"But it would be nice to do this work together... without your country's guns pointing at our people."

"But when love and duty are one, then grace is within you."

"If I didn't know you better I'd think you have the feigned indifference of a man in love. Go on son. Tell the truth and shame the devil."

"It's the wanting that keeps us alive."

"Desire begins in the mind. Cleopatra, Theodocia, she could seduce a man at twenty paces, without revealing an inch of flesh."

"Do you know what my daughter's nurse told her today? In a girl's voice lies temptation - a known fact. Eloquence in a woman means promiscuity. Promiscuity of the mind leads to promiscuity of the body. She doesn't believe it yet, but she will. She'll grow up just like her mother. Marry, raise children and honor her family. Spend her youth in needlepoint and rue the day she was born a girl. And when she dies, she'll wonder why she obeyed all the rules of God and Country for no biblical hell could ever be worse than a state of perpetual inconsequence."
