More quotes by Ellen Glasgow
to be honest and yet popular is almost as difficult in literature as it is in life.
Ellen Glasgow
. . . every tree near our house had a name of its own and a special identity. This was the beginning of my love for natural things, for earth and sky, for roads and fields and woods, for trees and grass and flowers a love which has been second only to my sense of enduring kinship with birds and animals, and all inarticulate creatures.
Ellen Glasgow
There wouldn't be half as much fun in the world if it weren't for children and men, and there ain't a mite of difference between them under the skins.
Ellen Glasgow
audacity is of all qualities the most youthful.
Ellen Glasgow
the old alone have finality. What is true of the young today may be false tomorrow. They are enveloped in emotion and emotion as a state of being is fluent and evanescent.
Ellen Glasgow
I'm not going to lie down and let trouble walk over me.
Ellen Glasgow
Do you know there is always a barrier between me and any man or woman who does not like dogs?
Ellen Glasgow
Spring was running in a thin green flame over the valley.
Ellen Glasgow
a self-made martyr is a poor thing.
Ellen Glasgow
Spring, which germinated in the earth, moved also with a strange restlessness, in the hearts of... women. As the weeks passed, inextinguishable hope, which mounts with the rising sap, looked from their faces.
Ellen Glasgow
... to be literary appeared to my deluded innocence as an unending romance.
Ellen Glasgow
Cruelty is the only sin.
Ellen Glasgow
But there is, I have learned, no permanent escape from the past. It may be an unrecognized law of our nature that we should be drawn back, inevitably, to the place where we have suffered most.
Ellen Glasgow
1. Always wait between books for the springs to fill up and flow over. 2. Always preserve within a wild sanctuary, an inaccessible valley of reveries. 3. Always, and as far as it is possible, endeavor to touch life on every side but keep the central vision of the mind, the inmost light, untouched and untouchable.
Ellen Glasgow
though pleasure may be purchasable, happiness cannot be bought for a price.
Ellen Glasgow
I haven't much opinion of words. They're apt to set fire to a dry tongue, that's what I say.
Ellen Glasgow
You look as if you had lived on duty and it hadn't agreed with you.
Ellen Glasgow
Although the primitive in art may be both interesting and impressive, as portrayed in American fiction it is conspicuous for dullness alone. Drab persons living drab lives, observed by drab minds and reported in drab writing.
Ellen Glasgow
To mourn was distressing, but to endeavor to mourn and fail was worse than distress.
Ellen Glasgow
I have little faith in the theory that organized killing is the best prelude to peace.
Ellen Glasgow
