This article contains more than 100 quotes from the entire Yellowstone series. As interesting as it feels to watch the series, the quotes do something similar, too. Moreover, even though it has been a very long time since the release of the first-ever Yellowstone episode, I have made sure to add quotes from there as well.

Beth Dutton quotes from Yellowstone:
You’re in real estate or something equally as unimportant, married, couple of kids, one on the way. That was your excuse to come out here. Need the break. Work, family life. It’s so demanding. A little fresh air, a little “me time.” You came alone ’cause none of your friends could afford it, and those who do, theyā¦ they have wives a lot smarter than yours ’cause let’s be honest, Ted, you didn’t come here to fish. You’re hunting. That’s why you’re sitting in a bar instead of standing in a river.
I ain’t judging you, buddy. I’m hunting too, just not hunting you.
You look like a real soft-f##k, Ted. All you city boys do.
Penance you earn. Closure you find. Look somewhere else, and you might.

Sobriety is bliss.

for you.
I got to tell you something and it comes from a place of love. You should really consider
killing yourself.
We’ll see how tough you are after I give it to you.

You know one day, Jamie, as much as it f##kin’ astonishes meā¦ someone will love you. And you’ll love somebody. And I can’t wait to take that from you. Even if I have to kill it with my bare hands, I will take it from you.
You have a kind soul. The whole world can see it. Some of the world’s gonna hate you for it.
But that’s a conversation for another time. That we’ll never have.
-Is there anything you ever wanted to do that you didn’t do because everybody would watch you and question you and now doing it is in spite of them and it’s about something else and the moment you imagined is not the moment that you were living?
You are many things, but baby, funny is not one of them.
You know why I always run away? There’s only so much I can give to you, Rip.
Rip – No. You can give me everything.

I’m going to tell you a little secret: the more you become what he wanted you to become, the more hell hate you for it.

The world doesn’t value your way of life anymore, Dad.
I’m pretty hard to get rid of.
What about your brother? Can he be trusted?
Beth – I wouldn’t buy water from that motherf##ker if I was in the desert.
Well, that’s what it means. It means that youā¦ that you have me, that I’m yours. It means “come live your life with me,” and the only thing I ask is you outlive me so l never have to live another day without you.
Everything I do is for you. To please you. To protect you. And I can tell you what I think is best, with data and facts and zero emotion, but I will do whatever it is you tell me to do.
The sting never fades with me. It is a painful lesson. And one you’re about to learn.
