I am all in a sea of wonders. I doubt; I fear; I think strange things, which I dare not confess to my own soul. God keep me, if only for the sake of those dear to me!

Once again...welcome to my house. Come freely. Go safely; and leave something of the happiness you bring.

Good women tell all their lives, and by day and by hour and by minute, such things that angels can read.

If a man's esteem and gratitude are ever worth the winning, you have won mine today. If ever the future should bring to you a time when you need a man's help, believe me, you will not call in vain. God grant that no such time may ever come to you to break the sunshine of your life; but if it should ever come, promise me that you will let me know.

I suppose that we women are such cowards that we think a man will save us from fears, and we marry him.

Take me away from all this Death.

A brave man's hand can speak for itself, it does not even need a woman's love to hear its music.
