Ann Radcliffe

Ann Radcliffe
Do you believe your heart to be, indeed, so hardened, that you can look without emotion on the suffering, to which you would condemn me?
Ann Radcliffe
Never will I give my hand where my heart does not accompany it.
Ann Radcliffe
He loved the soothing hour, when the last tints of light die away when the stars, one by one, tremble through æther, and are reflected on the dark mirror of the waters that hour, which, of all others, inspires the mind with pensive tenderness, and often elevates it to sublime contemplation.
Ann Radcliffe
But no matter for that, you can be tolerably happy, perhaps, notwithstanding but as for guessing how happy I am, or knowing anything about the matter,--- O! its quite beyond what you can understand.
Ann Radcliffe
Sentiment is a disgrace, instead of an ornament, unless it lead us to good actions.
Ann Radcliffe
When justice happens to oppose prejudice, we are apt to believe it virtuous to disobey her.
Ann Radcliffe
When the mind has once begun to yield to the weakness of superstition, trifles impress it with the force of conviction.
