Mr. Herbert Brown: It's one thing to out-think a man, quite another to outsmart him.
Mrs. Brown: And who will say which is which?


--Anne Revere (as Mrs. Brown) in National Velvet

Louise Soubirous: Life goes fast, my child. It's hard to believe how fast.


--Anne Revere (as Louise Soubirous) in The Song of Bernadette

Mrs. Brown: That'll be a dispute to the end of time, Mr. Brown: whether it's better to do the right thing for the wrong reason or the wrong thing for the right reason.


--Anne Revere (as Mrs. Brown) in National Velvet

Mrs. Brown: What's the meaning of goodness if there isn't a little badness to overcome?


--Anne Revere (as Mrs. Brown) in National Velvet

[Mrs. Brown is talking with Velvet in the attic]
Mrs. Brown: We're alike. I, too, believe that everyone should have a chance at a breathtaking piece of folly once in his life. I was twenty when they said a woman couldn't swim the Channel. You're twelve; you think a horse of yours can win the Grand National. Your dream has come early; but remember, Velvet, it will have to last you all the rest of your life.

Phil Green: Funny thing, that girl, Mr. Minify's niece suggested the series on antisemitism. Funny.
Mrs. Green: You don't say? Why, women will be thinking next, Phil.

Mrs. Green: I never realized pain could be so... sharp.


--Anne Revere (as Mrs. Green) in Gentleman's Agreement

Mrs. Green: You know something, Phil? I suddenly want to live to be very old. Very. I want to be around to see what happens. The world is stirring in very strange ways. Maybe this is the century for it. Maybe that's why it's so troubled. Other centuries had their driving forces. What will ours have been when men look back? Maybe it won't be the American century after all... or the Russian century or the atomic century. Wouldn't it be wonderful... if it turned out to be everybody's century... when people all over the world - free people - found a way to live together? I'd like to be around to see some of that... even the beginning. I may stick around for quite a while.


--Anne Revere (as Mrs. Green) in Gentleman's Agreement

Mrs. Green: You think there's enough anti-Semitism in life already without people reading about it?
Phil Green: No, but this story is doomed before I start. What can I say about anti-Semitism that hasn't been said before?
Mrs. Green: Maybe it hasn't been said well enough. If it had, you wouldn't have had to explain it to Tommy right now.
