“Friends always forget those whom fortune forsakes.” “But what is so headstrong as youth? What so blind as inexperience?” “There is no happiness like that of being loved by your fellow-creatures, and feeling that your presence is an addition to their comfort.“ “It is not violence that best overcomes hate–nor vengeance that most certainly heals injury.“ “It does good to no woman to be flattered who does not intend to marry her and it is madness in all women to let a secret love kindle within them, which, if unreturned and unknown, must devour the life that feeds it and, if discovered and responded to, must lead, ignis-fatuus-like, into miry wilds whence there is no extrication.” And if that boisterous Channel, and two hundred miles or so of land come broad between us, I am afraid that cord of communion will be snapt and then I’ve a nervous notion I should take to bleeding inwardly.” “I sometimes have a queer feeling with regard to you–especially when you are near me, as now: it is as if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly and inextricably knotted to a similar string situated in the corresponding quarter of your little frame. “I loved him very much – more than I could trust myself to say – more than words had power to express.“ “I have for the first time found what I can truly love–I have found you.“ “I ask you to pass through life at my side - to be my second self and best earthly companion.“ “I am strangely glad to get back again to you: and wherever you are is my home-my only home.“ “Every atom of your flesh is as dear to me as my own: in pain and sickness it would still be dear.“ “Do you think I am an automaton? - a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!” “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.” “Your mind is my treasure, and if it were broken, it would be my treasure still.“ “The soul, fortunately, has an interpreter – often an unconscious but still a faithful interpreter – in the eye.” “Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilised by education: they grow there, firm as weeds among stones.“ We know that God is everywhere but certainly we feel His presence most when His works are on the grandest scale spread before us and it is in the unclouded night-sky, where His worlds wheel their silent course, that we read clearest His infinitude, His omnipotence, His omnipresence.” “Night was come, and her planets were risen: a safe, still night: too serene for the companionship of fear. “It is far better to endure patiently a smart which nobody feels but yourself, than to commit a hasty action whose evil consequences will extend to all connected with you.” “If all the world hated you and believed you wicked, while your own conscience approved you, and absolved you from guilt, you would not be without friends.”
“I think you good, gifted, lovely: a fervent, a solemn passion is conceived in my heart it leans to you, draws you to my centre and spring of life, wrap my existence about you–and, kindling in pure, powerful flame, fuses you and me in one.“
“I like this day I like that sky of steel I like the sternness and stillness of the world under this frost.“ “I could not unlove him now, merely because I found that he had ceased to notice me.“ “I ask you to pass through life at my side – to be my second self, and best earthly companion.” Since birth, it has always been a sign that you are alive.” “Crying does not indicate that you are weak.
