Thomas Hardy
“Never in her life – she could swear it from the bottom of her soul – had she ever intended to do wrong; yet these hard judgments had come. Whatever her sins, they were not sins of intention, but of inadvertence, and why should she have been punished so persistently?”
Thomas Hardy, Tess of the D’Urbervilles

Thomas Hardy
“It was the touch of the imperfect upon the would-be perfect that gave the sweetness, because it was that which gave the humanity”
Thomas Hardy, Tess of the D’Urbervilles

Thomas Hardy
“Let truth be told - women do as a rule live through such humiliations, and regain their spirits, and again look about them with an interested eye. While there's life there's hope is a connviction not so entirely unknown to the "betrayed" as some amiable theorists would have us believe.”
Thomas Hardy, Tess of the D’Urbervilles

Thomas Hardy
“Sometimes I feel I don't want to know anything more about [history] than I know already. [...] Because what's the use of learning that I am one of a long row only--finding out that there is set down in some old book somebody just like me, and to know that I shall only act her part; making me sad, that's all. The best is not to remember that your nature and you past doings have been kist like thousands' and thousands', and that your coming life and doings'll be like thousands' and thousands'. [...] I shouldn't mind learning why--why the sun do shine on the just and the unjust alike, [...] but that's what books will not tell me.”
Thomas Hardy, Tess of the D’Urbervilles

Thomas Hardy
“You, and those like you, take your fill of pleasure on earth by making the life of such as me bitter and black with sorrow; and then it is a fine thing, when you have had enough of that, to think of securing your pleasure in heaven by becoming converted!”
Thomas Hardy, Tess of the D’Urbervilles
