More quotes by Ann Radcliffe

Ann Radcliffe
Sentiment is a disgrace, instead of an ornament, unless it lead us to good actions.
Ann Radcliffe
If the weak hand, that has recorded this tale, has, by its scenes, beguiled the mourner of one hour of sorrow, or, by its moral, taught him to sustain it - the effort, however humble, has not been vain, nor is the writer unrewarded.
Ann Radcliffe
At first a small line of inconceivable splendour emerged on the horizon, which, quickly expanding, the sun appeared in all of his glory, unveiling the whole face of nature, vivifying every colour of the landscape, and sprinkling the dewy earth with glittering light.
Ann Radcliffe
What has a man's face to do with his character? Can a man of good character help having a disagreeable face?
Ann Radcliffe
When the mind has once begun to yield to the weakness of superstition, trifles impress it with the force of conviction.
Ann Radcliffe
Happiness arises in a state of peace, not of tumult.
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
But St. Aubert had too much good sense to prefer a charm to a virtue.
Ann Radcliffe
