Quotes
-
Emma Woodhouse : I lay it down as a general rule, Harriet, that if a woman doubts whether she should accept a man or not, she certainly ought to refuse him.
-
Mr. Knightley : She is known only as a parlor boarder at a common school. She is pretty and she is good-tempered, and that is all.
Emma Woodhouse : That is all? These are not trivial recommendations, Mr. Knightley. 'Til men do fall in love with well-informed minds instead of handsome faces, a girl with such loveliness as Harriet has a certainty of being admired and sought after wherever she goes. I am very much mistaken if your sex, in general, would not find these qualities the highest claims a woman could possess.
Mr. Knightley : Upon my word, Emma, to hear you abusing the reason you have, is almost enough to make me think so too. Better to be without sense altogether than to misapply it as you do.

Emma Woodhouse : Mr. Churchhill will soon return to Yorkshire. We must make the most of every opportunity until he does.

Mr. Knightley : And yet he spent a whole day going to London just to get his hair cut. Sixteen miles, twice over. He's a trifling, silly fop.

Emma Woodhouse : I promise to make none for myself, Papa, but I must indeed for other people. 'Tis the greatest amusement in the world, and after such success you know...
-
Emma Woodhouse : We are both prejudiced. You against, I for him and we shall have no chance of agreeing until he is really here.
Mr. Knightley : Prejudiced? I'm not prejudiced!
Emma Woodhouse : Yes, but I am. Very much, and without at all being ashamed of it. My love for Mr. and Mrs. Weston gives me a decided prejudice in his favor.
-
Mr. Knightley : If Frank Churchill had wanted to attend his father's wedding, he would have contrived it. He... he chose not to come.
Emma Woodhouse : You've never met Mr. Frank Churchhill. We do not know what he is able or unable to do.
Mr. Knightley : There is one thing, Emma, which a man can always do if he chooses, and that is his duty. It is Frank Churchill's duty to pay this attention to his father.
