The Painted Veil (2006)

— I've gotten used to not speaking unless I have something to say.
— If nobody spoke unless they had something to say... the human race would soon lose the power of speech.

It's just that women are often under the impression... that men are much more in love with them than they really are.

I knew that you weren't the cleverest girl... but I didn't know you were actually a fool.

If a man hasn't what's necessary to make a woman love him... then it's his fault, not hers.

Then I suppose we're both useless. At last, something in common.

But when love and duty are one, then grace is within you.

— Do you absolutely despise me?
— No. I despise myself.
— Why?
— For allowing myself to love you once.

The very idea that a woman should marry any Tom, Dick, or Harry... regardless of her own feelings is simply prehistoric.
