- Astrid Sloan: [while packing her suitcase to go to New York] The happiest I've been in my life was when I was in New York with nothing. Money just makes the important stuff easy, so that we try and make the unimportant stuff hard just to make it feel like we're not coasting, but I have been and I don't want to coast anymore.
- Payton Hobart: I don't know whether I should feel more angry or sad. I mean, you were married to a man with hands and a heart as cold as ice for almost 20 years, you bore him two sons, made him a home, and now he just sends you off with nothing but your precious jewels and some caftans.
- Georgina Hobart: They're not really mine. Nothing is. Nothing is permanent. Not what you owe, not what you love, not even the things that you think will break you forever.
