Inspector Goole

• 'Have a glass of port - or a little whisky?'

  'No, thank you, Mr Birling. I'm on duty.'
• 'It's my duty to ask questions'

  'It's my duty to keep labour costs down'
• 'But after all it's better to ask for the Earth than to take it'
• 'I don't play golf'
• 'It would do us all a bit of good if sometimes we tried to put ourselves in the place of these young women counting their pennies in their dingy little back bedrooms'
• 'If I could help her now, I would-'

  'Yes, but you can't. It's too late'
• 'You think that women ought to be protected against unpleasant and disturbing things?'
• 'We have to share something. If there's nothing else, we'll have to share our guilt.'
• 'You seem to have made a great impression on this child, Inspector'

  'We often do on the young ones. They're more impressionable.'
• 'No, he's a young man. And some young men drink far too much.'
• (massively) 'Public men, Mr Birling, have responsibilities as well as priviliges'
• 'It's his responsibility'

  'That doesn't make it any the less yours.'
• 'But each of you helped to kill her. Remember that. Never forget it.'
• 'But just remember this. One Eva Smith has gone - but there are millions and millions and millions of Eva Smiths and John Smiths still left with us.'
• 'We don't live alone. We are members of one body. We are responsible for one another.'
• 'The time will soon come when, if men will not learn that lesson, then they will be taught it in fire and blood and anguish.'
