Belle Quote

John Davinier: M'lord! If you find for the traders, you will be formalizing in law the concept of insuring human cargo.
Lord Mansfield: That's correct. [to carriage-handler]
Lord Mansfield: Drive.
John Davinier: Then know that when you are gone, your legacy will be to have left Miss Lindsay in a world where she may be worth more dead than alive.
Lord Mansfield: Miss Lindsay is not a slave.
John Davinier: By the very grace of God!
Lord Mansfield: [thumping on carriage's roof to signal driver to stop]This is not about Miss Lindsay.
John Davinier: Of course it is. It's about all of us. It's about everything... everything that's important.
Lord Mansfield: [pause]Mr Davinier, the world is a devastating place. You must learn to protect your emotions, if you wish to prevent matters both of law... and love, from devastating you.

Movie: Belle
