“- Elizabeth Bennet: I wonder who first discovered the power of poetry in driving away love?
- Mr. Darcy: I thought that poetry was the food of love.
- Elizabeth Bennet: Of a fine stout love, it may. But if it is only a vague inclination I'm convinced one poor sonnet will kill it stone dead.”
Keira Knightley - Elizabeth Bennet
Matthew Macfadyen - Mr. Darcy

- Grace Winslow: You don't behave as if you are in love.

Meg Ryan - Frannie Avery

“Down the long white road we walked together. Down between the grey hills and the heather. You seemed all brown and soft, just like linnet. Your errant hair had shadowed sunbeams in it. And there shone all April in your eyes.”

Kit Harington - Roland Leighton

“If this word should turn out to be a 'Te moriturum saluto,' perhaps it will brighten the dark moments a little to think how you have meant to someone more than anything ever has or ever will.”
