2nd Mrs. de Winter
"Last night, I dreamt I went to Manderley again. It seemed to me I stood by the iron gate leading to the drive, and for a while I could not enter for the way was barred to me. Then, like all dreamers, I was possessed of a sudden with supernatural powers and passed like a spirit through the barrier before me. The drive wound away in front of me, twisting and turning as it had always done. But as I advanced, I was aware that a change had come upon it. Nature had come into her own again, and little by little had encroached upon the drive with long tenacious fingers, on and on while the poor thread that had once been our drive. And finally, there was Manderley - Manderley - secretive and silent. Time could not mar the perfect symmetry of those walls. Moonlight can play odd tricks upon the fancy, and suddenly it seemed to me that light came from the windows. And then a cloud came upon the moon and hovered an instant like a dark hand before a face. The illusion went with it. I looked upon a desolate shell, with no whisper of a past about its staring walls. We can never go back to Manderley again. That much is certain. But sometimes, in my dreams, I do go back to the strange days of my life which began for me in the south of France..."

"[to the 2nd Mrs. de Winter, regarding Mrs. Danvers] Oh, theres no need for you to be frightened of her. But you shouldnt have any more to do with her than you can help...You see, shes bound to be insanely jealous at first, and she must resent you bitterly...Dont you know? Why I should have thought Maxim would have told you. She simply adored Rebecca."

"Go and question Dr. Baker. Hell tell you why Rebecca went to him, to confirm the fact that she was going to have a child, a sweet, curly-headed little child...She told Max about it. Maxim knew he wasnt the father, so like the gentleman of the old school that he is, he killed her."

We should never have come back to Manderley. Oh, what a fool I was."

"Favell used to visit her here in this cottage. I found out about it and I warned her that if he came here again Id shoot them both. One night, when Id found that shed come quietly back from London, I thought that Favell was with her. And I knew then, that I couldnt stand this life of filth and deceit any longer. I decided to come down here and have it out with both of them. But she was alone. She was expecting Favell but he hadnt come."

Maxim de Winter
"She was lying on the divan, a large tray of cigarette stubs beside her. She looked ill, queer. Suddenly she got up, started to walk toward me. When I have a child, she said, neither you nor anyone else could ever prove it wasnt yours. Youd like to have an heir, wouldnt you, Max, for your precious Manderley? Then she started to laugh. How funny! How supremely, wonderfully funny! Ive been a perfect mother just as Ive been the perfect wife! No one will ever know. Now, it ought to give you the thrill of your life, Max, to watch my son grow bigger day by day and to know that when you die, Manderley will be his. She was face to face with me. One hand in her pocket, the other holding a cigarette. She was smiling: Well Max. What are you going to do about it? Arent you going to kill me? I suppose I went mad for a moment. I must have struck her. She stood staring at me. She looked almost triumphant. Then she started toward me again, smiling. Suddenly she stumbled and fell. When I looked down, ages afterwards it seemed, she was lying on the floor. Shed struck her head on a heavy piece of ships tackle. I remember wondering why she was still smiling. Then I realized she was dead."
