Quotes5

  • Elspeth: A person needs to be needed and if you don't need me, you could lie.
  • Elspeth: A happy woman doesn't mutilate herself.
  • Frances: Time has come for me to embrace my years, don't you think, Mother? Welcome them, not fight them anymore.
  • Elspeth: Why should you embrace your years? No one else does.
  • Elspeth: Suits me, this. My God, it's bleak! I love it, winter! I like weather - definite weather. When it rains, I like it pelting down. And wind? I like a good blow. Sunshine? Couldn't be doing with it all the time and never a cloud in the sky. Look at this! Look at it! Clean it up and there's nowhere on this Earth that could beat it for beauty.
  • Elspeth: One life! Thats all! You'll not get the last years back.
