“Even broken in spirit as he is, no one can feel more deeply than he does the beauties of nature. The starry sky, the sea, and every sight afforded by these wonderful regions, seems still to have the power of elevating his soul from earth.

― Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights

“I must make up my mind which is right – society or I.”
― Henrik Ibsen, A Doll's House
