Time changes everything except something within us which is always surprised by change.

Did it never strike your mind that what every woman says, some women may feel?

Women are so strange in their influence that they tempt you to misplaced kindness.

It was then that the ecstasy and the dream began, in which emotion was the matter of the universe, and matter but an adventitious intrusion likely to hinder you from spinning where you wanted to spin.

Sometimes a woman's love of being loved gets the better of her conscience, and though she is agonized at the thought of treating a man cruelly, she encourages him to love her while she doesn't love him at all. Then, when she sees him suffering, her remorse sets in, and she does what she can to repair the wrong.

You could sometimes see her twelfth year in her cheeks, or her ninth sparkling from her eyes; and even her fifth would flit over the curves of her mouth now and then.

Tis because we be on a blighted star, and not a sound one, isn't it Tess?
