1. "Souls have complexions too: what would suit one will not suit another."
    Mr. Garth

    Celia
    Mr. Casaubon


2. "Humphrey finds everybody charming. I can never get him to abuse Casaubon. He will even speak well of the bishop, though I tell him it is unnatural in a beneficed clerygyman: what can one do with a husband who attends so little to the decencies? I hide it as well as I can by abusing everybody myself."
    Mrs. Cadwallader
    Rosamond
    Dorothea
    Mrs. Bulstrode


3. "Well, whether or not, I consider it very unhandsome of you to refuse it. Such doings may be lined with religion, but outside they have a nasty, dog-in-the-manger look...this tyrannical spirit, wanting to play bishop and banker everywhere-it's this sort of thing makes a man's name stink."
    Mrs. Renfrew
    Mrs. Waule
    Mr. Vincy

We knew our catechism, and that was enough; we learned our creed and our duty. Every respectable Church person has the same opinions. But now, if you speak out of the Prayer-book itself, you are liable to be contradicted."

    Mr. Trumbull
    John Raffles

    Mr. Farebrother
    Mr. Garth
    Fred Vincy
