You don't talk quite like a girl who has had no advantages.

You concede nothing to me and I have to concede everything to you.

The beggarly question of paren...

The beggarly question of parentage--what is it, after all? What does it matter, when you come to think of it, whether a child is yours by blood or not? All the little ones of our time are collectively the children of us adults of the time, and entitled to our general care. That excessive regard of parents for their own children, and their dislike of other people's, is, like class-feeling, patriotism, save-your-own-soul-ism, and other virtues, a mean exclusiveness at bottom.

He's charmed by her as if she ...

He's charmed by her as if she were some fairy!' continued Arabella. 'See how he looks round at her, and lets his eyes rest on her. I am inclined to think that she don't care for him quite so much as he does for her. She's not a particular warm-hearted creature to my thinking, though she cares for him pretty middling much-- as much as she's able to; and he could make her heart ache a bit if he liked to try--which he's too simple to do.

Always wanting another man than your own.

I may do some good before I am...

I may do some good before I am dead--be a sort of success as a frightful example of what not to do; and so illustrate a moral story.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

you are absolutely the most ethereal, least sensual woman I ever knew to exist without inhuman sexlessness.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

We ought to have lived in mental communion, and no more.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

You have never loved me as I l...

You have never loved me as I love you--never--never! Yours is not a passionate heart--your heart does not burn in a flame! You are, upon the whole, a sort of fay, or sprite-- not a woman!

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

But his dreams were as gigantic as his surroundings were small.

All romances end at marriage....

All romances end at marriage.

So each had a private little sun for her soul to bask in; some dream, some affection, some hobby, or at least some remote and distant hope....

I have felt lately, more and more, that my present way of living is bad in every respect.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

Thoroughly convinced of the im...

Thoroughly convinced of the impossibility of his own suit, a high resolve constrained him not to injure that of another. This is a lover's most stoical virtue, as the lack of it is a lover's most venial sin.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

You overrate my capacity of love. I don't posess half the warmth of nature you believe me to have. An unprotected childhood in a cold world has beaten gentleness out of me.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

I. At Tea THE kettle descants ...

I. At Tea THE kettle descants in a cosy drone, And the young wife looks in her husband's face, And then in her guest's, and shows in her own Her sense that she fills an envied place; And the visiting lady is all abloom, And says there was never so sweet a room. And the happy young housewife does not know That the woman beside her was his first choice, Till the fates ordained it could not be so.... Betraying nothing in look or voice The guest sits smiling and sips her tea, And he throws her a stray glance yearningly.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

Why didn't you tell me there w...

Why didn't you tell me there was danger? Why didn't you warn me? Ladies know what to guard against, because they read novels that tell them of these tricks; but I never had the chance of discovering in that way; and you did not help me!

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

There is always an inertia to be overcome in striking out a new line of conduct Ђ' not more in ourselves, it seems, than in circumscribing events, which appear as if leagued together to allow no novelties in the way of amelioration.

He knelt and bent lower, till her breath warmed his face, and in a moment his cheek was in contact with hers. She was sleeping soundly, and upon her eyelashes there lingered tears...
