Elizabeth Gaskell
“He may care for her, though she really has been almost rude to him at times. But she! – why, Margaret would never think of him, I’m sure! Such a thing has never entered her head."

"Entering her heart would do.”
Elizabeth Gaskell, North and South

“She must just submit, like many another, to be misunderstood;”

“He llegado al convencimiento de que las simples instituciones, por mucha sabiduría y mucha reflexión que haya requerido organizarlas y concertarlas, no pueden unir a las clases como debería hacerse, a menos que el desarrollo de dichas instituciones pusiese en contacto personal realmente a individuos de diferentes clases. Esa relación es el auténtico aliento vital.”
Elizabeth Gaskell, Norte y Sur

“- Ay! Thornton o' Marlborough Mill, as we call him.
- He is one of the masters you are striving with, is he not? what sort of master is he?
- Did yo' ever see a bulldog? Set a bulldog on hindlegs, and dress him up in coat and breeches, and yo'n just getten John Thornton.”
Elizabeth Gaskell, North and South

“One of many beautiful young girls in traditional hijab came up to me to have her photo signed. Her green eyes glistened as she looked at me directly and asked, “Can you put ‘Women can be heroes, too’?” I met everyday heroines on this trip–ladies with a glow and a sparkle, a determination and a strength in the face of adversity.
We did have tremendous fun in the making of Agent Carter, but the positive effect–particularly on young women–is what I hold closest to my heart. I met a girl named Nada at the convention. She said, “Most people think my name means ‘Nothing,’ but in fact it means ‘dewdrop’ and ‘honesty’ in my culture.” Whatever happens in the future for Peggy, and the show, Season One and its small impact on young girls are a drop of positivity in our world. Peggy is an honest girl following her own moral compass in the face of adversity. She makes us strive to be better than we want to be. Thank you, Marvel, for letting me step into her high heels, apply her lipstick, and fight the good fight. For all you little Peggys out there, you are not alone. Go forth and kick ass.”
Hayley Atwell, Marvel Agent Carter: Season One Declassified
