The bliss even of a moment still is bliss.

My day is closed! the gloom of night is come! a hopeless darkness settles over my fate.

I can bear scorpion's stings, tread fields of fire, in frozen gulfs of cold eternal lie, be tossed aloft through tracts of endless void, but cannot live in shame.

A woman is seldom roused to great and courageous exertion but when something most dear to her is in immediate danger.

I have seen the day, when, if a man made himself ridiculous, the world would laugh at him. But now, everything that is mean, disgusting, and absurd, pleases them but so much the better!

Pampered vanity is a better thing perhaps than starved pride.

Me care for te laws when te laws care for me.
