Anna Brownell Jameson
The moment in which the spirit meets death is perhaps like the moment in which it is embraced in sleep. I suppose it never happened to any one to be conscious of the immediate transition from the waking to the sleeping state.

Anna Brownell Jameson
Where the vivacity of the intellect and the strength of the passions exceed the development of the moral faculties the character is likely to be embittered or corrupted by extremes, either of adversity or prosperity.
Anna Brownell Jameson
The moment one begins to solder right and wrong together, one's conscience becomes like a piece of plated goods.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Satan--the impersonation of that mixture of the bestial, the malignant, the impious, and the hopeless, which constitute the fiend--the enemy of all that is human and divine.
Anna Brownell Jameson
In the art of design, color is to form what verse is to prose,--a more harmonious and luminous vehicle of the thought.
Anna Brownell Jameson
If a superior woman marry a vulgar or inferior man, he makes her miserable, but seldom governs her mind or vulgarizes her nature and if there be love on his side, the chances are that in the end she will elevate and refine him.
Anna Brownell Jameson
I do not like new things of any kind, not even a new gown, far less a new acquaintance, therefore make as few as possible one can but have one's heart and hands full, and mine are. I have love and work enough to last me the rest of my life.
