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

If you ever looked at me once with what I know is in you, I'd be your slave.

Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same; and Linton's is as different as a moonbeam from lightning, or frost from fire

If I could I would always work in silence and obscurity, and let my efforts be known by their results.

I wish I were a girl again, half-savage and hardy, and free.

She bounded before me, and returned to my side, and was off again like a young greyhound; and, at first, I found plenty of entertaiment in listening to the larks singing far and near; and enjoying the sweet, warm sunshine; and watching her, my pet, and my delight, with her golden ringlets flying loose behind, and her bright cheek, as soft and pure in its bloom, as a wild rose, and her eyes radiant with cloudless pleasure. She was a happy creautre, and an angel in those those days. It is a pity she could not stay content.

I gave him my heart, and he took and pinched it to death; and flung it back to me.
