More quotes by Thomas Hardy
It was the touch of the imperfect upon the would-be perfect that gave the sweetness, because it was that which gave the humanity
Thomas Hardy
The defective can be more than the entire.
Thomas Hardy
So do flux and reflux--the rhythm of change--alternate and persist in everything under the sky.
Thomas Hardy

Thomas Hardy
If Galileo had said in verse that the world moved, the inquisition might have let him alone.
Thomas Hardy
There's a friendly tie of some sort between music and eating.
Thomas Hardy
Teach me to live, that I may dread The grave as little as my bed. Teach me to die.
Thomas Hardy
Women accept their destiny more readily than men.
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
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
Is a woman a thinking unit at all, or a fraction always wanting its integer?
Thomas Hardy
She was but a transient impression, half forgotten.
Thomas Hardy
My weakness has always been to prefer the large intention of an unskilful artist to the trivial intention of an accomplished one: in other words, I am more interested in the high ideas of a feeble executant than in the high execution of a feeble thinker.
Thomas Hardy
