Love is a possible strength in...

Love is a possible strength in an actual weakness.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

The perfect woman, you see [is...

The perfect woman, you see [is] a working-woman; not an idler; not a fine lady; but one who [uses] her hands and her head and her heart for the good of others.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

Their position was perhaps the...

Their position was perhaps the happiest of all positions in the social scale, being above the line at which neediness ends, and below the line at which the convenances begin to cramp natural feeling, and the stress of threadbare modishness makes too little of enough.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

My weakness has always been to...

My weakness has always been to prefer the large intention of an unskilful artist to the trivial intention of an accomplished one: in other words, I am more interested in the high ideas of a feeble executant than in the high execution of a feeble thinker.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

To dance with a man is to conc...

To dance with a man is to concentrate a twelvemonth's regulation fire upon him in the fragment of an hour. To pass to courtship without acquaintance, to pass to marriage without courtship, is a skipping of terms reserved for those alone who tread this royal road.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

It was that period in the vern...

It was that period in the vernal quarter when we may suppose the Dryads to be waking for the season. The vegetable world begins to move and swell and the saps to rise, till in the completest silence of lone gardens and trackless plantations, where everything seems helpless and still after the bond and slavery of frost, there are bustlings, strainings, united thrusts, and pulls-all-together, in comparison with which the powerful tugs of cranes and pulleys in a noisy city are but pigmy efforts.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

If a path to the better there ...

If a path to the better there be, it begins with a full look at the worst.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

That man's silence is wonderful to listen to.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

A novel is an impression, not ...

A novel is an impression, not an argument; and there the matter must rest.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

I am the family face; flesh pe...

I am the family face; flesh perishes, I live on, projecting trait and trace through time to times anon, and leaping from place to place over oblivion.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

Measurement of life should be ...

Measurement of life should be proportioned rather to the intensity of the experience than to its actual length.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

The first cause worked automat...

The first cause worked automatically like a somnambulist, and not reflectively like a sage.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

Pessimism is playing the sure ...

Pessimism is playing the sure game. You cannot lose at it; you may gain. It is the only view of life in which you can never be disappointed. Having reckoned what to do in the worst possible circumstances, when better arise, as they may, life becomes child's play.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

Women are attracted to silent ...

Women are attracted to silent men. They believe they are listening.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

That one true heart was left b...

That one true heart was left behind! What feeling do we ever find, to equal among human kind , a dog's fidelity!

War makes good history but peace is poor reading.

Christmas Eve, and twelve of t...

Christmas Eve, and twelve of the clock. 'Now they are all on their knees,' An elder said as we sat in a flock By the embers in hearth-side ease. We pictured the meek mild creatures where They dwelt in their strawy pen, Nor did it occur to one of us there To doubt they were kneeling then. So fair a fancy few would weave In these years! yet, I feel If someone said on Christmas Eve, 'Come; see the oxen kneel, In the lonely barton by yonder coomb Our childhood used to know,' I should go with him in the gloom, Hoping it mig

That cold accretion called the world, so terrible in the mass, is so non formidable, even pitiable, in its units.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

Women accept their destiny more readily than men.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

By experience', says Roger Ascham, 'we find out a short way by a long wandering.' Not seldom that long wandering unfits us for further travel, and of what use is our experience to us then?
