It's my choice, to choose how to live my life.

Jealousy ... survives every other passion of mankind.

No passion is stronger in the breast of man than the desire to make others believe as he believes

Books are the mirrors of the soul.

Chastity ... has, even now, a religious importance in a woman's life, and has so wrapped itself round with nerves and instincts that to cut it free and bring it to the light of day demands courage of the rarest.

I grow numb; I grow stiff. How shall I break up this numbness which discredits my sympathetic heart?

There'll be oceans of talk and emotions without end.
