More quotes by Thomas Hardy
It is difficult for a woman to define her feelings in language which is chiefly made by men to express theirs.
Thomas Hardy
We colour and mould according to the wants within us whatever our eyes bring in.
Thomas Hardy
It was still early, and the sun's lower limb was just free of the hill, his rays, ungenial and peering, addressed the eye rather than the touch as yet.
Thomas Hardy
Is a woman a thinking unit at all, or a fraction always wanting its integer?
Thomas Hardy
She was at that modulating point between indifference and love, at the stage called having a fancy for. It occurs once in the history of the most gigantic passions, and it is a period when they are in the hands of the weakest will.
Thomas Hardy
You, and those like you, take your fill of pleasure on earth by making the life of such as me bitter and black with sorrow and then it is a fine thing, when you have had enough of that, to think of securing your pleasure in heaven by becoming converted!
Thomas Hardy
you are absolutely the most ethereal, least sensual woman I ever knew to exist without inhuman sexlessness.
Thomas Hardy
And yet to every bad there is a worse.
Thomas Hardy
She was but a transient impression, half forgotten.
Thomas Hardy
Beauty lay not in the thing, but in what the thing symbolized.
Thomas Hardy
The resolution to avoid an evil is seldom framed till the evil is so far advanced as to make avoidance impossible.
Thomas Hardy
Ladies know what to guard against, because they read novels that tell them of these tricks.
Thomas Hardy
Did it never strike your mind that what every woman says, some women may feel?
Thomas Hardy
That aspects are within us and who seems Most kingly is the King.
Thomas Hardy
A novel is an impression, not an argument and there the matter must rest.
Thomas Hardy
The defective can be more than the entire.
Thomas Hardy
There is always an inertia to be overcome in striking out a new line of conduct – not more in ourselves, it seems, than in circumscribing events, which appear as if leagued together to allow no novelties in the way of amelioration.
Thomas Hardy
You don't talk quite like a girl who has had no advantages.
Thomas Hardy
Done because we are too many.
Thomas Hardy
Their position was perhaps the happiest of all positions in the social scale, being above the line at which neediness ends, and below the line at which the convenances begin to cramp natural feeling, and the stress of threadbare modishness makes too little of enough.
Thomas Hardy
