Published March 31, 2023
These Fifty Shades of Grey quotes include some from both the movie and the book and focus on the funny ones that made us laugh, the ones that turned us on, and those that showed changes in the pair’s relationship.
In 2011, a new erotic romance novel, Fifty Shades of Grey, written by E.L James, took the world by storm, especially the female population.
The book, which follows the relationship between a shy college graduate, Anastasia Steele, and the enigmatic billionaire, Christian Grey, became a best seller quickly.
It ended up being the first in the series, and in 2015 the movie premiered, starring Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan.
The book caused quite a stir because the scenes were explicit (as are some of the Fifty Shades of Grey quotes below), and featured elements of BDSM sexual practices.
Despite the book’s success (it set a record in the UK), the response from critics was mostly negative.
Critics took exception with the quality of E. L James’ writing style, and some others in the BDSM community didn’t like the way the lifestyle was portrayed.
The same held true for the movie, which killed it at the box office, but received unfavorable reviews.

Which of these Fifty Shades of Grey quotes is your favorite?
Ana first meets Christian when she agrees to take her friend’s place in an interview with Christian.
Ana is a college senior, who is majoring in English Literature, and her friend Kate Kavanagh writes for the paper.
The interview is awkward, and she asks a list of questions prepared by Kate.
Christian is intrigued, but Ana felt that Christian was intimidating, and left believing she had blown the interview for her friend.
She leaves, thinking she won’t see him ever again but is shocked when he comes to the hardware store she works at.
That is where all those quotes about rope, cable ties, and masking tape come from!
Ana convinces Christian to agree to a photoshoot for Kate’s article, and the pair banter back and forth.
She learns that he is single, but tells her he is not a romantic person.
Ana thinks she is too plain for someone like him but is shocked when she gets a gift from him.
Then one night, she accidentally drunk dials him, and he comes to pick her up.
She wakes up in his hotel room to a lecture about how she isn’t taking care of herself.
He also says he is interested in a sexual relationship with her, but not until she signs the “paperwork.”
They end up making out in the elevator, and Christian introduces her to his BDSM lifestyle.
The question for most of the plot is will she sign the contract (filled with some very detailed rules), or will Christian find himself falling in love with her despite himself?
I won’t spoil it in case you haven’t seen it or read the book!
