Film Quotes by Judith Anderson

Ellen Morgan: Do you think there's a man on earth without something to conceal.

Ellen Morgan: Meg needs to be with young people like Nath. You can't condemn her to loneliness.

Emily Brent: If I had a butler like Rogers, I'd soon get rid of him.

Emily Brent: Very stupid to kill the only servant in the house. Now we don't even know where to find the marmalade.

Mrs. Callum: [to Jeb] A person's gotta find his own answers. We're alone... each of us. Each in a different way.

Mrs. Ivers: I'm sorry, sorry you ever left here. Sam, for old time's sake?

Nefretiri: And Moses?
Memnet: He is lower than the dust. Not one drop of royal blood flows through his veins. He is the son of Hebrew slaves.
Nefretiri: I'll have you torn into so many pieces, even the vultures wont find them. Who hatched this lie? Rameses?
Memnet: Rameses does not know... yet.

Nefretiri: Were you alone, with, Bithiah?
Memnet: A little girl led me to the Hebrew woman, Yochabel, that the child might be suckled by his true mother.
Nefretiri: Take care, old frog. You croaked too much, against Moses!
Memnet: Would you mingle the blood of slaves, with your own?
Nefretiri: He will be my husband. I shall have no other.
[Memnet then shows Nefretiri the Hebrew cloth, she had been kept hidden, for thirty years. Memnet got it, when she and Bithiah, were alone]
