What is it, Angel?' she said, starting up. 'Have they come for me?' 'Yes, dearest,' he said. 'They have come.' 'It is as it should be,' she murmured. 'Angel, I am almost gladЂ'yes, glad! This happiness could not have lasted. It was too much. I have had enough; and now I shall not live for you to despise me!' She stood up, shook herself, and went forward, neither of the men having moved. 'I am ready,' she said quietly.

I forgot the defective can be more than the whole

Meanwhile, the trees were just...

Meanwhile, the trees were just as green as before; the birds sang and the sun shone as clearly now as ever. The familiar surroundings had not darkened because of her grief, nor sickened because of her pain. She might have seen that what had bowed her head so profoundly -the thought of the world's concern at her situation- was found on an illusion. She was not an existence, an experience, a passion, a structure of sensations, to anybody but herself.

Women are so strange in their influence that they tempt you to misplaced kindness.

...our impulses are too strong for our judgement sometimes

She was not an existence, an experience, a passion, a structure of sensations, to anybody but herself. To all humankind besides Tess was only a passing thought. Even to friends she was no more than a frequently passing thought.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

They spoke very little of their mutual feeling; pretty phrases and warm expressions being probably unnecessary between such tried friends.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

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.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

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...

Never in her life Ђ' she could swear it from the bottom of her soul Ђ' had she ever intended to do wrong; yet these hard judgments had come. Whatever her sins, they were not sins of intention, but of inadvertence, and why should she have been punished so persistently?

O, you have torn my life all to pieces... made me be what I prayed you in pity not to make me be again!

Nobody had beheld the gravitation of the two into one

In the ill-judged execution of the well-judged plan of things the call seldom produces the comer, the man to love rarely coincides with the hour for loving

She was but a transient impression, half forgotten.

You could sometimes see her twelfth year in her cheeks, or her ninth sparkling from her eyes; and even her fifth would flit over the curves of her mouth now and then.

It was the touch of the imperfect upon the would-be perfect that gave the sweetness, because it was that which gave the humanity

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

A blaze of love and extinction, was better than a lantern glimmer of the same which should last long years.

When yellow lights struggle with blue shades in hairlike lines.
