Dynasty’s Most Unforgettable Quotes: Because the 80s Needed More Drama

Alright, so picture this: it’s the 1980s, shoulder pads are practically a second skin, the Walkman is your best bud, and TV shows are as loud and flashy as hair sprayed high enough to touch the ceiling. Enter “Dynasty,” the prime-time soap opera that was basically 80s pop culture wrapped in a glittery, power-suit package. Sure, we had other iconic 80s TV shows and 80s movies, but “Dynasty” was THE show where fashion was as outrageous as the plot twists and the quotes were pure gold—ready to be repeated in everyday life whether or not they made sense.

If you’ve ever binge-watched any 80s TV shows or obsessed over 80s celebrities, you’ll know that “Dynasty” was more than just storylines about oil tycoons and family feuds. It was a showcase of the era’s biggest extravagances and, let’s face it, a fountain of quotes that deserve a place in the 80s pop culture hall of fame. So grab your cocktail glass, and let me send you on a quick, hilarious stroll down memory lane—with some of “Dynasty’s” most famous lines.

• "I’m a Carrington, and I don't apologize for anything." – Alexis Carrington

Expressing the pure essence of 80s confidence in one sentence. Alexis was the OG queen of throwing shade and delivering zingers that could slice through a steel drum. This line basically certified her as an icon of both 1980s fashion and ruthless family pride.

• "What goes around, comes around." – Multiple characters, but usually with a serious side-eye

Classic soap opera material, but “Dynasty” somehow made it feel like you could quote it when your neighbor borrowed your lawnmower and never returned it. This phrase echoed in the halls of those impossibly massive mansions and the high-stakes boardrooms alike.

• "You got that word from me, not vice versa." – Blake Carrington

Blake was the patriarch with more secrets than your local gossip columnist. This line is a perfect example of his no-nonsense approach—kind of like the tough 80s dads we all half-feared and half-admired.

The beauty of “Dynasty” quotes is how perfectly they capture the melodrama that defined 80s TV shows. And speaking of which, if you love reminiscing about the 80s, whether that’s 80s music pumping in the background or catching reruns of your favorite 80s movies, you know this era was a time when over-the-top was just the baseline.

It was a time when your biggest betrayal might come with a vacuum cleaner, and “sassy” was a lifestyle, not just a personality trait.

Let’s wrap this up with one more iconic moment—because no discussion about “Dynasty” quotes would be complete without a nod to the endless feuds, scandalous romances, and the kind of one-liners you can’t help but repeat long after the screen goes dark.

1. “Perfection... is the only standard.” – Fallon Carrington
2. “I’m not a woman who comes second.” – Fallon Carrington
3. “Blood is thicker than oil.” – Various family members trying to remind everyone who really mattered.
