Quotes 

  • Bathsheba Everdene : It is difficult for a woman to define her feelings in a language chiefly made by men to express theirs.

  • Bathsheba Everdene : Mr Oak, I don't want a husband. I'd hate to be some man's property. I shouldn't mind being a bride at a wedding if I could be one without getting a husband!

  • [last lines] 

    Bathsheba Everdene : Wasn't I your first sweetheart? Weren't you mine? And now I'd have to go on without you.

    Gabriel Oak : If I knew... If I knew that you would let me love you and marry you...

    Bathsheba Everdene : But you will never know.

    Gabriel Oak : Why not?

    Bathsheba Everdene : Because you never ask!

    Gabriel Oak : Would you say no again?

    Bathsheba Everdene : I don't know. Probably. So why don't you? Ask me. Ask me. Ask me, Gabriel.

    Gabriel Oak : [lunges and kisses her] 

  • Bathsheba Everdene : From now on, you have a mistress, not a master. I don't yet know my talents in farming, but I shall do my best. Don't suppose, because I'm a woman, I don't know the difference between bad goings-on and good. I shall be up before you're awake. I shall be a-field before you are up. It is my intention to astonish you all. Back to work, please.

  • [first lines] 

    Bathsheba Everdene : [narrating]  "Bathsheba Everdene." "Bathsheba." The name has always sounded strange to me. I don't like to hear it said out loud. My parents died when I was very young, so there's no one to ask where it came from. I've grown accustomed to being on my own. Some say even too accustomed. Too independent.

  • Liddy : [about the rich bachelor]  It's said, when he was young, his sweetheart jilted him.

    Bathsheba Everdene : People always say that. Women don't jilt men. Men jilt us.

  • William Boldwood : You must at least admire my persistence.

    Bathsheba Everdene : I do.

    William Boldwood : And like me?

    Bathsheba Everdene : Yes.

    William Boldwood : And respect me?

    Bathsheba Everdene : Yes. Very much.

    William Boldwood : Which is it? Like or respect?
