More quotes by Ann Radcliffe
Wisdom can boast no higher attainment than happiness.
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
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
It is dismal coming home, when there is nobody to welcome one!
Ann Radcliffe
To a generous mind few circumstances are more afflicting than a discovery of perfidy in those whom we have trusted.
Ann Radcliffe
The passions are the seeds of vices as well as of virtues, from which either may spring, accordingly as they are nurtured. Unhappy they who have never been taught the art to govern them!
Ann Radcliffe
To discover depravity in those whom we have loved, is one of the most exquisite tortures to a virtuous mind, and the conviction is often rejected before it is finally admitted.
Ann Radcliffe
Ignorance of true pleasure more frequently than temptation to that which is false, leads to vice.
Ann Radcliffe
Poverty cannot deprive us of many consolations. It cannot rob us of the affection we have for each other, or degrade us in our own opinion, of in that of any person, whose opinion we ought to value.
Ann Radcliffe
The world ridicules a passion which it seldom feels its scenes, and its interests, distract the mind, deprave the taste, corrupt the heart, and love cannot exist in a heart that has lost the meek dignity of innocence.
Ann Radcliffe
But St. Aubert had too much good sense to prefer a charm to a virtue.
Ann Radcliffe
There is no accounting for tastes.
Ann Radcliffe
Never will I give my hand where my heart does not accompany it.
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
There is some magic in wealth, which can thus make persons pay their court to it, when it does not even benefit themselves.
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
The refreshing pleasure from the first view of nature, after the pain of illness, and the confinement of a sick-chamber, is above the conceptions, as well as the descriptions, of those in health.
Ann Radcliffe
Fate sits on these dark battlements and frowns, And as the portal opens to receive me, A voice in hollow murmurs through the courts Tells of a nameless deed.
Ann Radcliffe
And since, in our passage through this world, painful circumstances occur more frequently than pleasing ones, and since our sense of evil is, I fear, more acute than our sense of good, we become the victims of our feelings, unless we can in some degree command them.
Ann Radcliffe
There is something in the ardour and ingenousness of youth, which is particularly pleasing to the contemplation of an old man, if his feelings have not been entirely corroded by the world.
