Mr. Birling

• "Unsinkable, absolutely unsinkable"
• "As if we were all mixed up like bees in a hive"
• "Community and all that nonsense"
• "I gather there's a very good chance of a knighthood"
• "Clothes mean something quite different to a woman"
• "if you don't come down sharply on some of these people, they'd soon ask for the earth"
• "(rather impatiently) Yes, yes. Horrible business. But I don't understand why you should come here."
• "Obviously it has nothing whatever to do with the wretched girl's suicide"
• "yes, and I'm trying to settle it sensibly for you"
