More quotes by Thomas Hardy
It appears that ordinary men take wives because possession is not possible without marriage, and that ordinary women accept husbands because marriage is not possible without possession
Thomas Hardy
Bless thy simplicity, Tess
Thomas Hardy
Sometimes I shrink from your knowing what I have felt for you, and sometimes I am distressed that all of it you will never know.
Thomas Hardy
If Galileo had said in verse that the world moved, the inquisition might have let him alone.
Thomas Hardy
We ought to have lived in mental communion, and no more.
Thomas Hardy
This hobble of being alive is rather serious, don’t you think so?
Thomas Hardy
If we be doomed to marry, we marry if we be doomed to remain single we do.
Thomas Hardy
If a path to the better there be, it begins with a full look at the worst.
Thomas Hardy
War makes rattling good history.
Thomas Hardy
Where we are would be Paradise to me, if you would only make it so.
Thomas Hardy
The sudden disappointment of a hope leaves a scar which the ultimate fulfillment of that hope never entirely removes.
Thomas Hardy
The sky was clear - remarkably clear - and the twinkling of all the stars seemed to be but throbs of one body, timed by a common pulse.
Thomas Hardy
It may have been observed that there is no regular path for getting out of love as there is for getting in. Some people look upon marriage as a short cut that way, but it has been known to fail.
Thomas Hardy
We learn that it is not the rays which bodies absorb, but those which they reject, that give them the colours they are known by and in the same way people are specialized by their dislikes and antagonisms, whilst their goodwill is looked upon as no attribute at all.
Thomas Hardy
Measurement of life should be proportioned rather to the intensity of the experience than to its actual length.
Thomas Hardy
A strong woman who recklessly throws away her strength, she is worse than a weak woman who has never had any strength to throw away.
Thomas Hardy
If the story-tellers could ha' got decency and good morals from true stories, who'd have troubled to invent parables?
Thomas Hardy
Love is a possible strength in an actual weakness.
Thomas Hardy
Let truth be told - women do as a rule live through such humiliations, and regain their spirits, and again look about them with an interested eye. While there's life there's hope is a connviction not so entirely unknown to the betrayed as some amiable theorists would have us believe.
Thomas Hardy
Did it never strike your mind that what every woman says, some women may feel?
Thomas Hardy
