More Quotes from Literature
1. "Women can resist a man's love, a man's fame, a man's personal appearance, and a man's money, but they cannot resist a man's tongue when he knows how to talk to them." - from The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins.
2. "You know how people long to be eternal. But they die with every day that passes. When you meet them, they're not what you met last. In any given hour, they kill some part of themselves. They change, they deny, they contradict - and they call it growth. At the end there's nothing left, nothing unreserved or unbetrayed; as if there had never been an entity, only a succession of adjectives fading in and out on an unformed mass." - from The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand.
3. "It is only when we are very happy, that we can bear to gaze merrily upon the vast and limitless expanse of water, rolling on and on with such persistent, irritating monotony, to the accompaniment of our thoughts, whether grave or gay. When they are gay, the waves echo their gaiety; but when they are sad, then every breaker, as it rolls, seems to bring additional sadness, and to speak to us of hopelessness and of the pettiness of all our joys." - from The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Emmuska Orczy.
4. "It is a fair, even-handed, noble adjustment of things, that while there is infection in disease and sorrow, there is nothing so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good-humour." - from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.
5. "Anne always remembered the silvery, peaceful beauty and fragrant calm of that night. It was the last night before sorrow touched her life; and no life is ever quite the same again when once that cold, sanctifying touch has been laid upon it." - from Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery.
6. "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." - Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë.
7. "As long as war is regarded as wicked, it will always have its fascination. When it is looked upon as vulgar, it will cease to be popular." - from The Critic as Artist by Oscar Wilde.
8. "They wanted to speak, but could not; tears stood in their eyes. They were both pale and thin; but those sick pale faces were bright with the dawn of a new future, of a full resurrection into a new life. They were renewed by love; the heart of each held infinite sources of life for the heart of the other." - from Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
9. "How blessed are some people, whose lives have no fears, no dreads, to whom sleep is a blessing that comes nightly, and brings nothing but sweet dreams." - from Dracula by Bram Stoker.
10. "Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven." - from Paradise Lost by John Milton.
