Thomas Hardy
Did you say the stars were worlds, Tess? Yes. All like ours? I don't know, but I think so. They sometimes seem to be like the apples on our stubbard-tree. Most of them splendid and sound - a few blighted. Which do we live on - a splendid one or a blighted one? A blighted one.
Thomas Hardy
Beauty lay not in the thing, but in what the thing symbolized.
Thomas Hardy
It is difficult for a woman to define her feelings in language which is chiefly made by men to express theirs.
