Middlemarch
by
Women were expected to have weak opinions; but the great safeguard of society and of domestic life was, that opinions were not acted on.
“My thoughts are whirled like a potter's wheel; I know not where I am, nor what I do;”
― Henry VI, Part 1
― Henry VI, Part 1
“Our passions do not live apart in locked chambers, but, dressed in their small wardrobe of notions, bring their provisions to a common table and mess together, feeding out of the common store according to their appetite.”
― Middlemarch
― Middlemarch
“But you, that are polluted with your lusts, Stain'd with the guiltless blood of innocents, Corrupt and tainted with a thousand vices, Because you want the grace that others have, You judge it straight a thing impossible To compass wonders but by help of devils.”
― Henry VI, Part 1
― Henry VI, Part 1
“Accursed fate! that the unconquerable captain in the soul should have such a craven mate!”
― Moby Dick: or, the White Whale
― Moby Dick: or, the White Whale
“Wilt thou be daunted at a woman's sight? Aye, beauty's princely majesty is such, Confounds the tongue and makes the senses rough.”
― Henry VI, Part 1
― Henry VI, Part 1
