I will walk where my own nature would be leading.

A good heart will help you to a bonny face, my lad and a bad one will turn the bonniest into something worse than ugly.

Last night, I was on the threshold of hell. To-day, I am within sight of my heaven. I have my eyes on it: hardly three feet to sever me!

No coward soul is mine, No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere.

You know that I could as soon forget you as my existence!

I have to remind myself to breathe -- almost to remind my heart to beat!

And there you see the distinction between our feelings: had he been in my place, and I in his, though I hated him with a hatred that turned my life to gall, I never would have raised a hand against him. You may look incredulous, if you please! I never would have banished him from her society as long as she desired his. The moment her regard ceased, I would have torn his heart out and drank his blood! But, till then - if you don't believe me, you don't know me - til then, I would have died by inches before I touched a single hair on his head!
