“The factory system is one of the worst and cruelest things ever invented to pamper the rich at the expense of the poor.

― Charlotte Elizabeth Tonna, Helen Fleetwood

“If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.”
― Jane Austen, Emma

“I didn't want to die - not before I'd finished reading The Return of the Native anyhow.”
