Some women's love of being loved is insatiable and so, often, is their love of loving and in the last case they may find that they can't give it continuously to the chamber-officer appointed by the bishop's license to receive it.

More quotes by Thomas Hardy
There are accents in the eye which are not on the tongue, and more tales come from pale lips than can enter an ear. It is both the grandeur and the pain of the remoter moods that they avoid the pathway of sound.
Thomas Hardy
We colour and mould according to the wants within us whatever our eyes bring in.
Thomas Hardy
Of course poets have morals and manners of their own, and custom is no argument with them.
Thomas Hardy
That it would always be summer and autumn, and you always courting me, and always thinking as much of me as you have done through the past summertime!
Thomas Hardy
Once let a maiden admit the possibility of her being stricken with love for some one at a certain hour and place, and the thing is as good as done.
Thomas Hardy
He wished she knew his impressions but he would as soon have thought of carrying an odour in a net as of attempting to convey the intangibilities of his feeling in the coarse meshes of language. So he remained silent.
Thomas Hardy
Time changes everything except something within us which is always surprised by change.
Thomas Hardy
Black chaos comes, and the fettered gods of the earth say, Let there be light.
Thomas Hardy
Teach me to live, that I may dread The grave as little as my bed. Teach me to die.
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
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
A blaze of love and extinction, was better than a lantern glimmer of the same which should last long years.
Thomas Hardy
That aspects are within us and who seems Most kingly is the King.
Thomas Hardy
A lover without indiscretion is no lover at all.
Thomas Hardy
Love is a possible strength in an actual weakness.
Thomas Hardy
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
War makes good history but peace is poor reading.
Thomas Hardy
The value of old age depends upon the person who reaches it. To some men of early performance it is useless. To others, who are late to develop, it just enables them to finish the job.
Thomas Hardy
Nobody had beheld the gravitation of the two into one
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
