Confound you handsome young fellows! You think of having it all your own way in the world. You don't understand women. They don't admire you half so much as you admire yourselves.

No anguish I have had to bear on your account has been too heavy a price to pay for the new life into which I have entered in loving you.

Cruelty, like every other vice, requires no motive outside of itself; it only requires opportunity.

Loquacity with tongue or pen is its own reward -- or, punishment.

Awful Night! Ancestral mystery of mysteries.

If you had a table spread for a feast, and was making merry with your friends, you would think it was kind to let me come and sit down and rejoice with you, because you'd think I should to share those good things; but I should better to share in your trouble and your labour.

I like not only to be loved, but also to be told I am loved.
