Quotes 

• William Grey : To be a knight is not what it's always thought to be, brother.

  Richard Grey : To be a knight is to be most honored.

  William Grey : To be the first son and a knight is to be most honored. To be anything else is to watch the first son get most of the honors.

  Eleanor Grey : At least you get to be something. Women get to be nothing!

  Richard Grey : Women are not supposed to be anything - they're women.

  Eleanor Grey : How can you say that?

  Richard Grey : Name me one thing you can do better than me?

  Cedric Grey : She rides better than you.

• Eleanor Grey : What was mother like?

  Cedric Grey : Yes, what was she like?

  William Grey : Well, she liked to sing.

  Richard Grey : Politics bored her, but she loved a good story.

  William Grey : Especially comedies.

  Richard Grey : I never heard her complain about anything.

  Eleanor Grey : Then she wouldn't have liked me.

  Richard Grey : She would have liked you more than anyone. It was courage she admired most in people because she thought she had so little herself. You were the woman she wanted to be, Eleanor.
