Daphne du Maurier
“Why should you mind?' she said.
He brushed the remark away.
'How do you think I'm going to live if I'm never to be certain of you, day or night?' he said to her.
She shrugged her shoulders.
'It's not my affair if you choose to make a fool of yourself,' she told him.
There was a pause and then she said: 'You might have known this would happen. I'm nearly twenty-five, my life's my own, after all.”
Daphne du Maurier, Julius

“I have a new thing about living, it's not going to be the same any more. It's going to be more wonderful than anything has ever been. I'm so happy.'
[...]
'This will hurt you, of course, but - I can't help that, I can't think of anyone but myself when I'm happy. You said I was always to think of myself.”
Daphne du Maurier, Julius

Daphne du Maurier
“He saw the face that stared at him now, ugly, degenerate and old, and he knew that his life counted therefore as nothing, that no achievement lay behind him, no battle won, no beauty possessed; that Julius Lévy was a name already vanished and lost in the sky, that had never been, that would not go on; and he wondered if there was no continuation of life, not future, no treasure beyond the stars, and if in reality there was neither God nor man, nor any world at all.”
Daphne du Maurier, Julius

Daphne du Maurier
“And as he sat there alone, he knew that never again would he have any sensation of peace or contentment, that never would his days or his nights be free from anguish and bitter distress. Because of what he had seen and heard that evening he would be driven tormented to mental horror as yet unknown to him and feared, there would be no rest for him until he had crushed and hidden and made secure into eternity his own creation, possessed for ever or returned to the place from whence it came.”
Daphne du Maurier, Julius

Daphne du Maurier
“She had played too long a part unworthy of her. She had consented to be the Dona her world had demanded – a superficial, lovely creature, who walked, and talked, and laughed, accepting praise and admiration with a shrug of the shoulder as natural homage to her beauty, careless, insolent, deliberately indifferent, and all the while another Dona, a strange, phantom Dona, peered at her from a dark mirror and was ashamed. This other self knew that life need not be bitter, nor worthless, nor bounded by a narrow casement, but could be limitless, infinite – that it meant suffering, and love, and danger, and sweetness, and more than this even, much more.”
Daphne du Maurier, Frenchman's Creek
