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.

Time changes everything except something within us which is always surprised by change.
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
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
Image
We ought to have lived in mental communion, and no more.
Thomas Hardy
Image
We colour and mould according to the wants within us whatever our eyes bring in.
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
I have felt lately, more and more, that my present way of living is bad in every respect.
Thomas Hardy
Image
They spoke very little of their mutual feeling pretty phrases and warm expressions being probably unnecessary between such tried friends.
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.

You don't talk quite like a girl who has had no advantages.
