Zitate und Sprüche aus Bridgerton

Die Menschen, die wir lieben, haben die Macht, uns die tiefsten Narben zuzufügen. Denn was wäre zerbrechlicher als ein menschliches Herz?

The ones we love have the power to inflict the greatest scars. For what thing is more fragile than the human heart?

Je heller ein Feuer leuchtet, desto schneller brennt es nieder.

The brighter a lady shines, the faster she may burn.

If you want to know if a gentleman loves you, there is only one true way to be sure. It's in his kiss. It's all there, in his kiss.

In der Liebe und im Krieg ist alles gestattet, doch aus so mancher Schlacht geht kein Sieger hervor und auf dem Felde bleiben nur zerbrochene Herzen zurück.

All is fair in love and war, but some battles leave no victor, only a trail of broken hearts.

Der Fluch meines Lebens sind Sie. Und zugleich das Objekt all meiner Sehnsüchte. Tag und Nacht träume ich von Ihnen. Kennen Sie die mannigfaltigen Arten eine Dame zu verführen? Sie ahnen nicht, was ich Ihnen zeigen könnte.

You are the bane of my existence. And the object of all my desires. Night and day, I dream of you. Do you even know all the ways a lady can be seduced? The things I could teach you.

Kate: "Die Welt heißt unverheiratete Frauen fürwahr nicht willkommen. Es scheint für uns keinen Platz in der Gesellschaft zu geben, außer am Rande des Geschehens."
Eloise: "Das scheint eher ein Makel der Gesellschaft zu sein, nicht der Frauen."

Kate: "The world is not exactly welcoming for an unmarried woman. There seems to be no place in society for us, except at the edge of things."
Eloise: "That rather seems to be society's flaw, not a woman's."

Du kannst dich niemandem nur von deiner besten Seite zeigen, ohne, dass er auch deine schlimmste Seite sieht.

You do know that you cannot show someone your best without allowing them to see your worst.

Es ist, als wäre ich unsichtbar. Ich glaube, ich finde das gut. Wenn dich keiner bemerkt, kannst du dich still amüsieren, ohne, dass irgendwer irgendetwas von dir erwarten würde. Du bist frei.

No one truly notices me. I suppose that is what I like. When you're invisible, you have all the amusement you want without any of the expectations popularity brings. It frees you.

Was ich will weiß ich genau. Eine verträgliche Frau. Und gehorsam. Sie sollte in gebärfreundliches Becken besitzen und nicht völlig dumm sein. Der letzte Punkt ist nicht verpflichtend, es wäre lediglich wünschenswert.

What I need is what I have, and that is a list. Tolerable, dutiful, suitable enough hips for childbearing, and at least half a brain. And that last part is not so much a requirement but a preference, in fact.

Bewahre stets die Fassung. Und halte deine Gefühle im Zaum. Ihre Majestät kann so etwas wie Hysterie gar nicht ausstehen. Du darfst lächeln, ein wenig, wirke dabei zwar freundlich und offen, durchaus zugewandt, aber auch zurückhaltend.

Just remember to remain composed. And control your emotions. Her Majesty does not take kindly to any hint of hysterics. I found a small smile worked best to appear open and approachable but not too eager.

Denken Sie, sie kehrt zurück? Wir haben seit dem Ende der letzten Ballsaison nicht ein einziges Wort von Lady Whistledown gehört.

Do you think she will return? We have heard nary a peep from Lady Whistledown since last season ended.

Gibt es etwas, das aufregender wäre, als ein Spiel zu wagen? Denn häufig ist es doch das höchste Risiko, das die größte Belohnung verspricht.

Is anything more exhilarating than taking a gamble? For it is often the highest risk that carries the greatest reward.

There is nothing like an excursion into nature to lift the spirits and loosen the tongue.

This author has often thought the heart a most curious of instruments, heeding neither reason nor rank.

Heute ist ein äußerst wichtiger Tag, auch, wenn ihn manche fürchten. Denn heute werden Londons junge, heiratswillige Damen ihrer Majestät, der Königin, vorgestellt. Gott sei ihren armen Seelen gnädig!

Today is a most important day, and for some a terrifying one, for today is the day London's marriage-minded misses are presented to her Majesty the Queen. May God have mercy on their souls.

"Do I look like a mess?" she asked.
He nodded. "But you're my mess," he whispered.

Mein Name ist Lady Whistledown. Sie kennen mich nicht und werden auch niemals meine Bekanntschaft machen. Doch seien Sie versichert, geneigte Leserschaft, ich kenne Sie nur zu gut.

My name is Lady Whistledown. You do not know me, and rest assured, you never shall. But be forewarned, dear reader, I certainly know you.

Was it possible to fall in love with the same man over and over again, every single day?

He murmured her name, tenderly taking her face in his hands. "I love you," he said, his voice low and fervent. "I love you with everything I am, everything I've been, and everything I hope to be. I love you with my past, and I love you for my future." He bent forward and kissed her, once, softly, on the lips. "I love you for the children we'll have and for the years we'll have together. I love you for every one of my smiles, and even more, for every one of your smiles."

Ein Mann von Ehre hätte seine Schulden bereits bezahlt.

A man of any honor ensures his debts are fully paid.

It suddenly made sense. Only twice in his life had he felt this inexplicable, almost mystical attraction to a woman. He'd thought it remarkable, to have found two, when in his heart he’d always believed there was only one perfect woman out there for him. His heart had been right. There was only one.

Love's about finding the one person who makes your heart complete. Who makes you a better person than you ever dreamed you could be. Its about looking in the eyes of your wife and knowing all the way to your bones that she's simply the best person you've ever known.

Slowly breaking the kiss, he turned his face to the side. Anthony, Benedict, and Colin were still standing in the foyer. Anthony was studying the ceiling, Benedict was pretending to inspect his fingernails, and Colin was staring quite shamelessly.

Ein Verehrer ist selten allein.

Where one suitor goes, the rest will surely follow.

No one said we had to spend every waking moment together, but at the end of the day and most of the time during, there is no one I would rather see, no one whose voice I would rather hear, and no one whose mind I would rather explore. I love you, Hyacinth Bridgerton. And I always will.

She tried to remind herself that beauty was only skin deep, but that didn't offer any helpful excuses when she was berating herself for never knowing what to say to people. There was nothing more depressing than an ugly girl with no personality.

Just be quiet and accept the praise.

He smiled, and suddenly she knew that his words were true. Everything would be all right. Maybe not today and maybe not tomorrow, but soon. Tragedy couldn't coexist in a world with one of Colin's smiles.

I would give the world to have one more person for whom I would lay down my life.

"You're going to be my grandmother."
"You silly child. In my heart, I've been your grandmother for years. I've just been waiting for you to make it official."

"You are not going to waltz in here and distract me with a clever phrase and a beguiling smile."
"You think my smile is beguiling?"

"I can live with you hating me," he said to the closed door. "I just can't live without you."

It was something in the way she moved.
Something in the way she breathed.
Something in the way she merely 'was' .
And he didn’t think he was ever going to get over it.
