The beauty or ugliness of a character lay not only in its achievements, but in its aims and impulses its true history lay, not among things done, but among things willed.
Thomas Hardy
Image
And yet to every bad there is a worse.
Thomas Hardy

If we be doomed to marry, we marry if we be doomed to remain single we do.
Thomas Hardy

Time changes everything except something within us which is always surprised by change.
Thomas Hardy

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

That aspects are within us and who seems Most kingly is the King.

We ought to have lived in mental communion, and no more.
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

Thomas Hardy
Image
This hobble of being alive is rather serious, don’t you think so?
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
Black chaos comes, and the fettered gods of the earth say, Let there be light.
Thomas Hardy
Image
Did it never strike your mind that what every woman says, some women may feel?
Thomas Hardy
Image
Tis because we be on a blighted star, and not a sound one, isn't it Tess?
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
In the ill-judged execution of the well-judged plan of things the call seldom produces the comer, the man to love rarely coincides with the hour for loving

Yes quaint and curious war is! You shoot a fellow down you'd treat if met where any bar is, or help to half-a-crown.
