More quotes by Thomas Hardy

But nobody did come, because nobody does and under the crushing recognition of his gigantic error Jude continued to wish himself out of the world.
Thomas Hardy
You don't talk quite like a girl who has had no advantages.
Thomas Hardy
So do flux and reflux--the rhythm of change--alternate and persist in everything under the sky.
Thomas Hardy
Dialect words are those terrible marks of the beast to the truly genteel.
Thomas Hardy
It appears that ordinary men take wives because possession is not possible without marriage, and that ordinary women accept husbands because marriage is not possible without possession
Thomas Hardy
Women are so strange in their influence that they tempt you to misplaced kindness.
Thomas Hardy
Let me enjoy the earth no less because the all-enacting light that fashioned forth its loveliness had other aims than my delight.
Thomas Hardy

Thomas Hardy
Bless thy simplicity, Tess
Thomas Hardy
Teach me to live, that I may dread The grave as little as my bed. Teach me to die.
Thomas Hardy

Thomas Hardy
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
If Galileo had said in verse that the world moved, the inquisition might have let him alone.
Thomas Hardy
Black chaos comes, and the fettered gods of the earth say, Let there be light.
Thomas Hardy
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
It is difficult for a woman to define her feelings in language which is chiefly made by men to express theirs.
Thomas Hardy
I have felt lately, more and more, that my present way of living is bad in every respect.
Thomas Hardy
That cold accretion called the world, so terrible in the mass, is so non formidable, even pitiable, in its units.
Thomas Hardy
War makes rattling good history.
Thomas Hardy
Is a woman a thinking unit at all, or a fraction always wanting its integer?
Thomas Hardy
