The Bridge of San Luis Rey

Brother Juniper:
We trust in Heaven. God has never failed man. Only man fails God.

Uncle Pio:
One should never trust a woman.

Don Andre - The Viceroy:
You know, you should have been a justice minister for I don't know even now whether or not you're tricking me.

Uncle Pio:
Have I ever tricked you except for your own good?

Esteban:
The more tome I spent at school, the less I understand the wind and the weather.

Michaela Villegas:
If we don't understand ourselves, how can we ever expect to understand anybody else?

Uncle Pio:
[Tp Michaelia] I warned His Excellancy that the palace crows would peck at you but can't reach you across the footlights. You will always be safe there.

Michaela Villegas:
[to Uncle Pio] Don't try to make me feel sorry. I have no heart for the theater. I am what I am. I must be what I must be.

Don Andre - The Viceroy:
I had a few uncomfortable moments thinking about the future of Peru. Do you realize that you might have had to rule?

Don Gonzalo:
Heaven forbid!

Don Andre - The Viceroy:
[Sarcastically] Fortunately Heaven did.

Do?a Maria - The Marquesa:
I have a deeper wickedness to confess.
