Ford Madox Ford
“Mind, I am not preaching anything contrary to accepted morality. I am not advocating free love in this or any other case. Society must go on, I suppose, and society can only exist if the normal, if the virtuous, and the slightly deceitful flourish, and if the passionate, the headstrong, and the too-truthful are condemned to suicide and madness.”
Ford Madox Ford, The Good Soldier: A Tale of Passion

Ford Madox Ford
“But the real fierceness of desire, the real heat of a passion long continued and withering up the soul of a man, is the craving for identity with the woman that he loves. He desires to see with the same eyes, to touch with the same sense of touch, to hear with the same ears, to lose his identity, to be enveloped, to be supported. For, whatever may be said of the relation of the sexes, there is no man who loves a woman that does not desire to come to her for the renewal of his courage, for the cutting asunder of his difficulties. And that will be the mainspring of his desire for her. We are all so afraid, we are all so alone, we all so need from the outside the assurance of our own worthiness to exist.”
Ford Madox Ford, The Good Soldier: A Tale of Passion

Seth Grahame-Smith
“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.”
Seth Grahame-Smith, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Ford Madox Ford
“I know nothing - nothing in the world - of the hearts of men. I only know that I am alone - horribly alone.”
Ford Madox Ford, The Good Soldier: A Tale of Passion

George Eliot
“No anguish I have had to bear on your account has been too heavy a price to pay for the new life into which I have entered in loving you.”
George Eliot, The Mill on the Floss
