“You have no enemies, you say? Alas, my friend, the boast is poor. He who has mingled in the fray of duty that the brave endure, must have made foes. If you have none, small is the work that you have done. You’ve hit no traitor on the hip. You’ve dashed no cup from perjured lip. You’ve never turned the wrong to right. You’ve been a coward in the fight.”
― Charles Mackay

“Ah, you think that anything naked must be indecent; even truth.”
― Anthony Trollope, Framley Parsonage

“Fair Quiet, have I found thee here,
And Innocence, thy sister dear!
Mistaken long, I sought you then
In busy companies of men;
Your sacred plants, if here below,
Only among the plants will grow.
Society is all but rude,
To this delicious solitude.”
― Andrew Marvell

“But nobody did come, because nobody does: and under the crushing recognition of his gigantic error Jude continued to wish himself out if the world.”
― Thomas Hardy, Jude the Obscure
