More quotes by Thomas Hardy
So do flux and reflux--the rhythm of change--alternate and persist in everything under the sky.
Thomas Hardy
Teach me to live, that I may dread The grave as little as my bed. Teach me to die.
Thomas Hardy
That cold accretion called the world, so terrible in the mass, is so non formidable, even pitiable, in its units.
Thomas Hardy
It was terribly beautiful to Tess today, for since her eyes last fell upon it she had learnt that the serpent hisses where the sweet birds sing.
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

Thomas Hardy
That one true heart was left behind! What feeling do we ever find, to equal among human kind , a dog's fidelity!
Thomas Hardy
Do not do an immoral thing for moral reasons.
Thomas Hardy
You could sometimes see her twelfth year in her cheeks, or her ninth sparkling from her eyes and even her fifth would flit over the curves of her mouth now and then.
Thomas Hardy
The sudden disappointment of a hope leaves a scar which the ultimate fulfillment of that hope never entirely removes.
Thomas Hardy
They spoke very little of their mutual feeling pretty phrases and warm expressions being probably unnecessary between such tried friends.
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
Where we are would be Paradise to me, if you would only make it so.
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
You don't talk quite like a girl who has had no advantages.
Thomas Hardy
Dialect words are those terrible marks of the beast to the truly genteel.
Thomas Hardy
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
