More quotes by Elizabeth Gaskell
I wanted to see the place where Margaret grew to what she is, even at the worst time of all, when I had no hope of ever calling her mine.
Elizabeth Gaskell
What other people may think of the rightness or wrongness is nothing in comparison to my own deep knowledge, my innate conviction that it was wrong.
Elizabeth Gaskell
Man, through all ages of revolving time, Unchanging man, in every varying clime, Deems his own land of every land the pride, Beloved by heaven o'er all the world beside Home, the spot of earth supremely blest, A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest.
Elizabeth Gaskell
Nevertheless, his moustachios are splendid.
Elizabeth Gaskell
Wearily she went to bed, wearily she arose in four or five hours' time. But with the morning came hope, and a brighter view of things.
Elizabeth Gaskell
I would not trust a mouse to a woman if a man's judgment could be had.
Elizabeth Gaskell
I dare say there's many a woman makes as sad a mistake as I have done, and only finds it out too late.
Elizabeth Gaskell
Sometimes one likes foolish people for their folly, better than wise people for their wisdom.
Elizabeth Gaskell
A wise parent humors the desire for independent action, so as to become the friend and advisor when his absolute rule shall cease.
Elizabeth Gaskell
Miss Jenkyns wore a cravat, and a little bonnet like a jockey-cap, and altogether had the appearance of a strong-minded woman although she would have despised the modern idea of women being equal to men. Equal, indeed! she knew they were superior.
Elizabeth Gaskell
Were all men equal to-night, some would get the start by rising an hour earlier to-morrow.
Elizabeth Gaskell
It seems strange to think, that what gives us most hope for the future should be called Dolores, said Margaret.
Elizabeth Gaskell
He came up straight to her father, whose hands he took and wrung without a word - holding them in his for a minute or two, during which time his face, his eyes, his look, told of more sympathy than could be put into words.
Elizabeth Gaskell
There is nothing like wounded affection for giving poignancy to anger.
Elizabeth Gaskell
A solitary life cherishes mere fancies until they become manias.
Elizabeth Gaskell
He could not forget the touch of her arms around his neck, impatiently felt as it had been at the time but now the recollection of her clinging defence of him, seemed to thrill him through and through,—to melt away every resolution, all power of self-control, as if it were wax before a fire.
Elizabeth Gaskell
I am the mother that bore you, and your sorrow is my agony and if you don't hate her, i do' Then, mother, you make me love her more. She is unjustly treated by you, and I must make the balance even.
Elizabeth Gaskell
I don't believe there's a man in Milton who knows how to sit still and it is a great art.
Elizabeth Gaskell
. . . it seemed to me that where others had prayed before to their God, in their joy or in their agony, was of itself a sacred place.
Elizabeth Gaskell
But suppose it was truth double strong, it were no truth to me if I couldna take it in. I daresay there's truth in yon Latin book on your shelves but it's gibberish and no truth to me, unless I know the meaning o' the words.
Elizabeth Gaskell
