I am the family face flesh perishes, I live on.
Thomas Hardy
Image
War makes rattling good history.
Thomas Hardy
Image
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
Image
To have lost is less disturbing than to wonder if we may possibly have won and Eustacia could now, like other people at such a stage, take a standing-point outside herself, observe herself as a disinterested spectator, and think what a sport for Heaven this woman Eustacia was.
Thomas Hardy
Image
I am the family face flesh perishes, I live on, projecting trait and trace through time to times anon, and leaping from place to place over oblivion.
Thomas Hardy
Image
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
Image
Teach me to live, that I may dread The grave as little as my bed. Teach me to die.
Thomas Hardy
Image
Done because we are too many.
Thomas Hardy
Image
She was of the stuff of which great men's mothers are made. She was indispensable to high generation, hated at tea parties, feared in shops, and loved at crises.
Thomas Hardy
Image
Pessimism is playing the sure game. You cannot lose at it you may gain. It is the only view of life in which you can never be disappointed. Having reckoned what to do in the worst possible circumstances, when better arise, as they may, life becomes child's play.
Thomas Hardy
Image
Black chaos comes, and the fettered gods of the earth say, Let there be light.
Thomas Hardy
Image
If a path to the better there be, it begins with a full look at the worst.
Thomas Hardy
Image
Sometimes a woman's love of being loved gets the better of her conscience, and though she is agonized at the thought of treating a man cruelly, she encourages him to love her while she doesn't love him at all. Then, when she sees him suffering, her remorse sets in, and she does what she can to repair the wrong.
Thomas Hardy
Image
The defective can be more than the entire.
Thomas Hardy
Image
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
Image
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
Image
We ought to have lived in mental communion, and no more.
Thomas Hardy
Image
Love is a possible strength in an actual weakness.
Thomas Hardy
Image
The beauty or ugliness of a character lay not only in its achievements, but in its aims and impulses its true history lay, not among things done, but among things willed.
Thomas Hardy
Image
I agree to the conditions, Angel because you know best what my punishment ought to be only - only - don't make it more than I can bear!
