Ann Radcliffe
How despicable is that humanity, which can be contented to pity, where it might assuage!
Ann Radcliffe
There is some comfort in dying surrounded by one's children.
Ann Radcliffe
How strange it is, that a fool or knave, with riches, should be treated with more respect by the world, than a good man, or a wise man in poverty!

Ann Radcliffe
Sentiment is a disgrace, instead of an ornament, unless it lead us to good actions.
Ann Radcliffe
Such is the inconsistency of real love, that it is always awake to suspicion, however unreasonable always requiring new assurances from the object of its interest.
Ann Radcliffe
Virtue and taste are nearly the same, for virtue is little more than active taste, and the most delicate affections of each combine in real love.
Ann Radcliffe
There are some few instances in which it is virtuous to disobey.
Ann Radcliffe
I tasted too what was called the sweet of revenge - but it was transient, it expired even with the object, that provoked it.
Ann Radcliffe
Wisdom can boast no higher attainment than happiness.
Ann Radcliffe
