Image
Is a woman a thinking unit at all, or a fraction always wanting its integer?
Thomas Hardy
Image
- the ethereal, fine-nerved, sensitive girl, quite unfitted by temperament and instinct to fulfil the conditions of the matrimonial relation with Phillotson, possibly with scarce any man.
Thomas Hardy
Image
There are disappointments which wring us, and there are those which inflict a wound whose mark we bear to our graves. Such are so keen that no future gratification of the same desire can ever obliterate them: they become registered as a permanent loss of happiness.
Thomas Hardy
Image
A novel is an impression, not an argument and there the matter must rest.
Thomas Hardy
Image
And yet to every bad there is a worse.
Thomas Hardy
Image
Tis because we be on a blighted star, and not a sound one, isn't it Tess?
Thomas Hardy
Image
Women are so strange in their influence that they tempt you to misplaced kindness.
Thomas Hardy
Image
Bless thy simplicity, Tess
Thomas Hardy
Image
That it would always be summer and autumn, and you always courting me, and always thinking as much of me as you have done through the past summertime!
Thomas Hardy
Image
There's a friendly tie of some sort between music and eating.
Thomas Hardy
Image
It may have been observed that there is no regular path for getting out of love as there is for getting in. Some people look upon marriage as a short cut that way, but it has been known to fail.
Thomas Hardy
Image
Silence has sometimes a remarkable power of showing itself as the disembodied soul of feeling wandering without its carcase, and it is then more impressive than speech.
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
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
Image
Love is a possible strength in an actual weakness.
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
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.
Thomas Hardy
Image
you are absolutely the most ethereal, least sensual woman I ever knew to exist without inhuman sexlessness.
Thomas Hardy
Image
A blaze of love and extinction, was better than a lantern glimmer of the same which should last long years.
Thomas Hardy
Image
To have lost is less disturbing than to wonder if we may possibly have won and Eustacia could now, like other people at such a stage, take a standing-point outside herself, observe herself as a disinterested spectator, and think what a sport for Heaven this woman Eustacia was.
