Image
Is a woman a thinking unit at all, or a fraction always wanting its integer?
Thomas Hardy
Image
That one true heart was left behind! What feeling do we ever find, to equal among human kind , a dog's fidelity!
Thomas Hardy
Image
A novel is an impression, not an argument and there the matter must rest.
Thomas Hardy
Image
Tis because we be on a blighted star, and not a sound one, isn't it Tess?
Thomas Hardy
Image
you are absolutely the most ethereal, least sensual woman I ever knew to exist without inhuman sexlessness.
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
Do not do an immoral thing for moral reasons.
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
I shall do one thing in this life-one thing certain-this is, love you, and long of you, and keep wanting you till I die.
Thomas Hardy
Image
It was then that the ecstasy and the dream began, in which emotion was the matter of the universe, and matter but an adventitious intrusion likely to hinder you from spinning where you wanted to spin.
Thomas Hardy
Image
Of course poets have morals and manners of their own, and custom is no argument with them.
Thomas Hardy
Image
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
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
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.
Thomas Hardy
Image
If we be doomed to marry, we marry if we be doomed to remain single we do.
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
You don't talk quite like a girl who has had no advantages.
Thomas Hardy
Image
She was but a transient impression, half forgotten.
Thomas Hardy
Image
We learn that it is not the rays which bodies absorb, but those which they reject, that give them the colours they are known by and in the same way people are specialized by their dislikes and antagonisms, whilst their goodwill is looked upon as no attribute at all.
Thomas Hardy
Image
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.
