Every atom of your flesh is as dear to me as my own: in pain and sickness it would still be dear Picture Quote #1

The trouble is not that I am single and likely to stay single, but that I am lonely and likely to stay lonely Picture Quote #1

It is always the way of events in this life,... no sooner have you got settled in a pleasant resting place, than a voice calls out to you to rise and move on, for the hour of repose is expired Picture Quote #1

Happiness quite unshared can scarcely be called happiness; it has no taste Picture Quote #1

All my heart is yours, sir: it belongs to you; and with you it would remain, were fate to exile the rest of me from your presence forever Picture Quote #1

His mind was indeed my library, and whenever it was opened to me, I entered bliss Picture Quote #1

I could not unlove him now, merely because I found that he had ceased to notice me Picture Quote #1

... it strikes me with terror and anguish to feel I absolutely must be torn from you for ever. I see the necessity of departure; and it is like looking on the necessity of death Picture Quote #1

Strange that grief should now almost choke me, because another human being’s eye has failed to greet mine Picture Quote #1

Crying does not indicate that you are weak. Since birth, it has always been a sign that you are alive Picture Quote #1

The ease of his manner freed me from painful restraint; the friendly frankness, as correct as cordial, with which he treated me, drew me to him Picture Quote #1

No reflection was to be allowed now, not one glance was to be cast back; not even one forward. Not one thought was to be given either to the past or the future. The first was a page so heavenly sweet, so deadly sad, that to read one line of it would dissolve my courage and break down my energy. The last was an awful blank, something like then world when the deluge was gone by Picture Quote #1

I have a strange feeling with regard to you. As if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly knotted to a similar string in you. And if you were to leave I’m afraid that cord of communion would snap. And I have a notion that I’d take to bleeding inwardly. As for you, you’d forget me Picture Quote #1

I shall be called discontented. I could not help it: The restlessness was in my nature; it agitated me to pain sometimes Picture Quote #1

I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will, which I now exert to leave you Picture Quote #1

You had no right to be born; for you make no use of life. Instead of living for, in, and with yourself, as a reasonable being ought, you seek only to fasten your feebleness on some other person's strength Picture Quote #1

Memory in youth is active and easily impressible; in old age it is comparatively callous to new impressions, but still retains vividly those of earlier years Picture Quote #1

Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilized by education; they grow firm there, firm as weeds among stones Picture Quote #1

The human heart has hidden treasures, in secret kept, in silence sealed; the thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, whose charms were broken if revealed Picture Quote #1

There are not unfrequently substantial reasons underneath for customs that appear to us absurd; and if I were ever again to find myself amongst strangers, I should be solicitous to examine before I condemned Picture Quote #1

Old maids like the houseless and unemployed poor, should not ask for a place and an occupation in the world: the demand disturbs the happy and the rich Picture Quote #1

Besides this earth, and besides the race of men, there is an invisible world and a kingdom of spirits: that world is round us, for it is everywhere Picture Quote #1

I grant an ugly woman is a blot on the fair face of creation; but as to the gentleman, let them be solicitous to possess only strength and valour: let their motto be:Hunt, shoot, and fight: the rest is not worth a flip Picture Quote #1

Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity, or registering wrongs. With this creed, revenge never worries my heart, degradation never too deeply disgusts me, injustice never crushes me too low. I live in calm, looking to the end Picture Quote #1

Youth has its romance, and maturity its wisdom, as morning and spring have their freshness, noon and summer their power, night and winter their repose. Each attribute is good in its own season Picture Quote #1
