Sir Thomas Bertram

— No, sir.
— Then what is it?
— I do not trust his nature. Like many charming people, he depends on the appreciation of others.
— What is the ill in that?
— His sole interest is in being loved, not in loving.
— You've read too many novels, girl!
— But it has not clouded my judgment.

Mansfield Park (1999)

Sir Thomas Bertram: — A little abstinence from the luxuries of Mansfield Park might bring your mind into a more sober state. Is that your choice, young woman?
Fanny Price: — Yes. It is.
Edmund Bertram: — Why, Fanny?
Fanny Price: — To be at home again... to be loved by my family, to feel affection without fear or restraint and... to feel myself the equal of those that surround me.
