I do like men who come out frankly and own that they are not gods.

Women have been called queens for a long time, but the kingdom given them isn't worth ruling.

I think immortality is the passing of a soul through many lives or experiences, and such as are truly lived, used and learned, help on to the next, each growing richer, happier and higher, carrying with it only the real memories of what has gone before.

I've neither beauty, money, nor rank, yet every foolish boy mistakes my frank interest for something warmer, and makes me miserable. It is my misfortune. Think of me what you will, but beware of me in time, for against my will I may do you harm.

I never wanted to go away, and the hard part now is the leaving you all. I'm not afraid, but it seems as if I should be homesick for you even in heaven.

Oh, Jo, how could you? Your one beauty.

Human minds are more full of mysteries than any written book and more changeable than the cloud shapes in the air.
