"There's different kinds of love, darling. Some people you love no matter what, and others you love if the situation was right. To me, the best kind of love is the "no matter what" kind."

"[to Jacey] I just do things. I let other people figure them out. That's what parents are for; they're really good at doing all the thinking, so why should I? I think this is what they called the silent treatment. I get enough of it from my father, I don't need it from you. So good luck at Penn."

"Look, Alice is the good daughter, Eleanor's the bad one, and I'm the one that sort of gets off the hook. It's just the way it works."

"[to Jacey] I have plans for my daughters, Mr. Holt, they don't include you. I know you: I know you better than you know me. I know all there is to know about screwing your way into a wealthy family and there's no way I'm gonna let you screw your way into mine."

"[Lloyd shows Jacey the door after Alice backs away from him.] Now get the hell out of here, you ruttin' stud. Keep your poor-boy dick out of my daughters."

"Hey Jacey... Remember the time I got my dick caught in my zipper? Remember in school, in the first grade?"

"Backyard nudity is hypocritical. It's insincere. People should do and say exactly what they feel and think and not try to hide things."

"[sarcastically] Every time an Abbott girl get her period, they throw some kind of party!"

"A year later, the impossible finally happened. One of the Holt boys married one of the Abbott girls. We have two daughters. I named the youngest Helen after my mom."

"That visit from Joan Abbott not only marked the end of Jacey's affair with Eleanor, but also the end of Eleanor Abbott herself. She disappeared from Haley, vanished or banished, no one knew for certain. But life with the Abbotts went on without her."

"The end of my innocence and childhood began in 1957. It is remarkable to me now just how little I knew then about the people around me. It took me years to figure out exactly what the truth was, especially given my brother's knack at inventing himself. My mother once told me that if the Abbotts didn't exist, my brother wouldn't have to invent them."

"Have you ever had a really big secret?"

"Yesterday 12-year old Josh Baskin wanted money, cars, and girls. Today he got all those."

"[to Richard and Lilli] Someday soon after the ship comes, you'll find yourself seated at a well-appointed table in San Francisco, and you'll be expected to show proper table manners."

"Return to the Romance, Return to the Adventure..."

"Return to the Innocence. Return to the Mystery. Return to the Passion."

"Alone... wild... untamed... On an uncharted island, two young castaways have uncovered the mysteries of life. Now he must rescue her from the one thing that can destroy their love... civilization."

"In a secluded paradise... surrounded by a coral sea, a boy and a girl grew up alone. Now they are experiencing the first awakenings of love. A love that can only be threatened... by discovery."

"The story of natural love continues..."

"This is my special place. It's quiet here, and I can see the house. Hollow out this ground about so deep, and line it with thatch and moss. And fill it in, and smooth it over with earth. I'll write out a prayer for you to say. We'll carve out a marker, and it will say, "Here lies Sarah Hargrave. Wife of William. Mother of Lillian". And I know I'm not your real mother, Richard, but I'd like to have it said "Mother of Richard"."

"[frustrated] I may be young, captain, but I have spent the last three years in a climate of fearsome heat, with insects as big as rats and rats as big as cats! I can certainly deal with deck hands down with fever!"

"[from trailer] Imagine a boy who didn't know he had become a man. Imagine a girl who did know she had become a woman. Imagine two people who knew nothing about love - and so knew everything."
