Beauty and the Beast Love Quotes

How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Beauty and the Beast.

Quote #1

NARRATOR: The prince tried to apologize, but it was too late, for she had seen that there was no love in his heart, and as punishment, she transformed him into a hideous beast.

Lesson number one: without a loving heart, you're just an animal. Apologies to our dogs, who adore us.

Quote #2

GASTON: Right from the moment when I met her / Saw her / I said, "She's gorgeous," and I fell.

Notice how the line doesn't say "fell in love." Gaston never uses the word "love," probably because he doesn't really understand what it means.

Quote #3

BEAST: That hurts! 

BELLE: If you'd hold still, it wouldn't hurt as much! 

BEAST: Well, if you hadn't have run away, this wouldn't have happened. 

BELLE: If you hadn't frightened me, I wouldn't have run away! 

BEAST: Well, you shouldn't have been in the west wing! 

BELLE: Well, you should learn to control your temper. Now, hold still. This might sting a little. By the way, thank you...for saving my life. 

BEAST: You're welcome.

Big things start with small gestures, and this little symbol of newfound respect is actually the first sign that Belle and the Beast could be anything more than enemies.
