+Title: Quotations from the Works of John Galsworthy
+
+Author: David Widger
+
+Release Date: October, 2002 [Etext #3459]
+[Yes, we are about one year ahead of schedule]
+[The actual date this file first posted = 04/29/01]
+
+Edition: 10

+Language: English

+******This file should be named 3459.txt or 3459.zip******
+
+This etext was produced by David Widger <widger@cecomet.net>
+
+
+Project Gutenberg Etexts are usually created from multiple editions,
+all of which are in the Public Domain in the United States, unless a
+copyright notice is included. Therefore, we usually do NOT keep any
+of these books in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our books one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to send us error messages even years after
+the official publication date.
+
+Please note: neither this list nor its contents are final till
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg Etexts is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.
+
+Most people start at our sites at:
+https://gutenberg.org
+http://promo.net/pg
+
+
+Those of you who want to download any Etext before announcement
+can surf to them as follows, and just download by date; this is
+also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
+indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
+announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.
+

+or
+ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext02

+Or /etext01, 00, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90
+
+Just search by the first five letters of the filename you want,
+as it appears in our Newsletters.
+
+
+Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any etext selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. This
+projected audience is one hundred million readers. If our value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour this year as we release fifty new Etext
+files per month, or 500 more Etexts in 2000 for a total of 3000+
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+should reach over 300 billion Etexts given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away One Trillion Etext
+Files by December 31, 2001. [10,000 x 100,000,000 = 1 Trillion]
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
+
+At our revised rates of production, we will reach only one-third
+of that goal by the end of 2001, or about 3,333 Etexts unless we
+manage to get some real funding.
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation has been created
+to secure a future for Project Gutenberg into the next millennium.
+
+We need your donations more than ever!

+Why is this "Small Print!" statement here? You know: lawyers.
+They tell us you might sue us if there is something wrong with
+your copy of this etext, even if you got it for free from
+someone other than us, and even if what's wrong is not our
+fault. So, among other things, this "Small Print!" statement
+disclaims most of our liability to you. It also tells you how
+you may distribute copies of this etext if you want to.
+
+*BEFORE!* YOU USE OR READ THIS ETEXT
+By using or reading any part of this PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm
+etext, you indicate that you understand, agree to and accept
+this "Small Print!" statement. If you do not, you can receive
+a refund of the money (if any) you paid for this etext by
+sending a request within 30 days of receiving it to the person
+you got it from. If you received this etext on a physical
+medium (such as a disk), you must return it with your request.
+
+ABOUT PROJECT GUTENBERG-TM ETEXTS
+This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etexts,
+is a "public domain" work distributed by Professor Michael S. Hart
+through the Project Gutenberg Association (the "Project").
+Among other things, this means that no one owns a United States copyright
+on or for this work, so the Project (and you!) can copy and
+distribute it in the United States without permission and
+without paying copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth
+below, apply if you wish to copy and distribute this etext
+under the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark.
+
+Please do not use the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark to market
+any commercial products without permission.
+
+To create these etexts, the Project expends considerable
+efforts to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain
+works. Despite these efforts, the Project's etexts and any
+medium they may be on may contain "Defects". Among other
+things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
+intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged
+disk or other etext medium, a computer virus, or computer
+codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
+
+LIMITED WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES
+But for the "Right of Replacement or Refund" described below,
+[1] Michael Hart and the Foundation (and any other party you may
+receive this etext from as a PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext) disclaims
+all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including
+legal fees, and [2] YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE OR
+UNDER STRICT LIABILITY, OR FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY OR CONTRACT,
+INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE
+OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE
+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+If you discover a Defect in this etext within 90 days of
+receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any)
+you paid for it by sending an explanatory note within that
+time to the person you received it from. If you received it
+on a physical medium, you must return it with your note, and
+such person may choose to alternatively give you a replacement
+copy. If you received it electronically, such person may
+choose to alternatively give you a second opportunity to
+receive it electronically.
+
+THIS ETEXT IS OTHERWISE PROVIDED TO YOU "AS-IS". NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE MADE TO YOU AS
+TO THE ETEXT OR ANY MEDIUM IT MAY BE ON, INCLUDING BUT NOT
+LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
+PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
+
+Some states do not allow disclaimers of implied warranties or
+the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so the
+above disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you, and you
+may have other legal rights.
+
+INDEMNITY
+You will indemnify and hold Michael Hart, the Foundation,
+and its trustees and agents, and any volunteers associated
+with the production and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm
+texts harmless, from all liability, cost and expense, including

+ requires that you do not remove, alter or modify the
+ etext or this "small print!" statement. You may however,
+ if you wish, distribute this etext in machine readable
+ binary, compressed, mark-up, or proprietary form,
+ including any form resulting from conversion by word
+ processing or hypertext software, but only so long as
+ *EITHER*:
+
+ [*] The etext, when displayed, is clearly readable, and

+selection. The etext editor will be glad to add your suggestions.
+One of the advantages of internet over paper publication is the ease
+of quick revision.

+the quotations may be found by inserting a small part of the quotation
+into the 'Find' or 'Search' functions of the user's word processing
+program.
+
+The quotations are in two formats:

+ WIDGER'S QUOTATIONS of JOHN GALSWORTHY
+
+
+
+THE FORSYTE SAGA:
+
+VOLUME 1. THE MAN OF PROPERTY
+/gutenberg/etext01/mnprp10.txt
+
+PASSAGES FROM THE TEXT:
+
+The simple truth, which underlies the whole story, that where sex
+attraction is utterly and definitely lacking in one partner to a union,
+no amount of pity, or reason, or duty, or what not, can overcome a
+repulsion implicit in Nature.
+
+The tragedy of whose life is the very simple, uncontrollable tragedy of
+being unlovable, without quite a thick enough skin to be thoroughly
+unconscious of the fact. Not even Fleur loves Soames as he feels he
+ought to be loved. But in pitying Soames, readers incline, perhaps, to
+animus against Irene: After all, they think, he wasn't a bad fellow, it
+wasn't his fault; she ought to have forgiven him, and so on!
+
+"Let the dead Past bury its dead" would be a better saying if the Past
+ever died. The persistence of the Past is one of those tragi-comic
+blessings which each new age denies, coming cocksure on to the stage to
+mouth its claim to a perfect novelty.
+
+The figure of Irene, never, as the reader may possibly have observed,
+present, except through the senses of other characters, is a concretion
+of disturbing Beauty impinging on a possessive world.
+
+She turned back into the drawing-room; but in a minute came out, and
+stood as if listening. Then she came stealing up the stairs, with a
+kitten in her arms. He could see her face bent over the little beast,
+which was purring against her neck. Why couldn't she look at him like
+that?
+
+But though the impingement of Beauty and the claims of Freedom on a
+possessive world are the main prepossessions of the Forsyte Saga, it
+cannot be absolved from the charge of embalming the upper-middle class.
+
+When a Forsyte was engaged, married, or born, the Forsytes were present;
+when a Forsyte died--but no Forsyte had as yet died; they did not die;
+death being contrary to their principles, they took precautions against
+it, the instinctive precautions of highly vitalized persons who resent
+encroachments on their property.
+
+"It's my opinion," he said unexpectedly, "that it's just as well as it
+is."
+
+The eldest by some years of all the Forsytes, she held a peculiar
+position amongst them. Opportunists and egotists one and all-- though
+not, indeed, more so than their neighbours--they quailed before her
+incorruptible figure, and, when opportunities were too strong, what could
+they do but avoid her!
+
+"I'm bad," he said, pouting--"been bad all the week; don't sleep at
+night. The doctor can't tell why. He's a clever fellow, or I shouldn't
+have him, but I get nothing out of him but bills."
+
+There was little sentimentality about the Forsytes. In that great
+London, which they had conquered and become merged in, what time had they
+to be sentimental?
+
+A moment passed, and young Jolyon, turning on his heel, marched out at
+the door. He could hardly see; his smile quavered. Never in all the
+fifteen years since he had first found out that life was no simple
+business, had he found it so singularly complicated.
+
+As in all self-respecting families, an emporium had been established
+where family secrets were bartered, and family stock priced. It was
+known on Forsyte 'Change that Irene regretted her marriage. Her regret
+was disapproved of. She ought to have known her own mind; no dependable
+woman made these mistakes.
+
+Out of his other property, out of all the things he had collected, his
+silver, his pictures, his houses, his investments, he got a secret and
+intimate feeling; out of her he got none.
+
+Of all those whom this strange rumour about Bosinney and Mrs. Soames
+reached, James was the most affected. He had long forgotten how he had
+hovered, lanky and pale, in side whiskers of chestnut hue, round Emily,
+in the days of his own courtship. He had long forgotten the small house
+in the purlieus of Mayfair, where he had spent the early days of his
+married life, or rather, he had long forgotten the early days, not the
+small house,--a Forsyte never forgot a house--he had afterwards sold it
+at a clear profit of four hundred pounds.
+
+And those countless Forsytes, who, in the course of innumerable
+transactions concerned with property of all sorts (from wives to
+water rights)....
+
+"I now move, 'That the report and accounts for the year 1886 be received
+and adopted.' You second that? Those in favour signify the same in the
+usual way. Contrary--no. Carried. The next business, gentlemen...."
+Soames smiled. Certainly Uncle Jolyon had a way with him!
+
+Forces regardless of family or class or custom were beating down his
+guard; impending events over which he had no control threw their shadows
+on his head. The irritation of one accustomed to have his way was,
+roused against he knew not what.
+
+We are, of course, all of us the slaves of property, and I admit that
+it's a question of degree, but what I call a 'Forsyte' is a man who is
+decidedly more than less a slave of property. He knows a good thing, he
+knows a safe thing, and his grip on property--it doesn't matter whether
+it be wives, houses, money, or reputation--is his hall-mark."--"Ah!"
+murmured Bosinney. "You should patent the word."--"I should like," said
+young Jolyon, "to lecture on it: 'Properties and quality of a Forsyte':
+This little animal, disturbed by the ridicule of his own sort, is
+unaffected in his motions by the laughter of strange creatures (you or
+I). Hereditarily disposed to myopia, he recognises only the persons of
+his own species, amongst which he passes an existence of competitive
+tranquillity."
+
+"My people," replied young Jolyon, "are not very extreme, and they have
+their own private peculiarities, like every other family, but they
+possess in a remarkable degree those two qualities which are the real
+tests of a Forsyte--the power of never being able to give yourself up to
+anything soul and body, and the 'sense of property'."
+
+An unhappy marriage! No ill-treatment--only that indefinable malaise,
+that terrible blight which killed all sweetness under Heaven; and so from
+day to day, from night to night, from week to week, from year to year,
+till death should end it.
+
+The more I see of people the more I am convinced that they are never good
+or bad--merely comic, or pathetic. You probably don't agree with me!'
+
+"Don't touch me!" she cried. He caught her wrist; she wrenched it away.
+"And where may you have been?" he asked. "In heaven--out of this house!"
+With those words she fled upstairs.
+
+It seemed to young Jolyon that he could hear her saying: "But, darling,
+it would ruin you!" For he himself had experienced to the full the
+gnawing fear at the bottom of each woman's heart that she is a drag on
+the man she loves.
+
+She had come back like an animal wounded to death, not knowing
+where to turn, not knowing what she was doing.
+
+
+
+
+THE FORSYTE SAGA:
+
+VOLUME 2. INDIAN SUMMER OF A FORSYTE & IN CHANCERY
+/gutenberg/etext01/isoaf10.txt
+
+PASSAGES FROM THE TEXT:
+
+"What do you mean by God?" he said; "there are two irreconcilable ideas
+of God. There's the Unknowable Creative Principle--one believes in That.
+And there's the Sum of altruism in man naturally one believes in That.
+
+She was such a decided mortal; knew her own mind so terribly well; wanted
+things so inexorably until she got them--and then, indeed, often dropped
+them like a hot potato. Her mother had been like that, whence had come
+all those tears. Not that his incompatibility with his daughter was
+anything like what it had been with the first Mrs. Young Jolyon.
+One could be amused where a daughter was concerned; in a wife's case
+one could not be amused.
+
+"Thank you for that good lie.
+
+Love has no age, no limit; and no death.
+
+Did Nature permit a Forsyte not to make a slave of what he adored? Could
+beauty be confided to him? Or should she not be just a visitor, coming
+when she would, possessed for moments which passed, to return only at her
+own choosing? 'We are a breed of spoilers!' thought Jolyon, 'close and
+greedy; the bloom of life is not safe with us. Let her come to me as she
+will, when she will, not at all if she will not. Let me be just her
+stand-by, her perching-place; never-never her cage!'
+
+....causing the animal to wake and attack his fleas; for though he was
+supposed to have none, nothing could persuade him of the fact.
+
+It's always worth while before you do anything to consider whether it's
+going to hurt another person more than is absolutely necessary."
+
+

+Aromatic spirituality
+As she will, when she will, not at all if she will not

+Back of beauty was harmony
+Back of harmony was--union
+Beauty is the devil, when you're sensitive to it!
+Blessed capacity of living again in the young
+But it tired him and he was glad to sit down
+But the thistledown was still as death
+By the cigars they smoke, and the composers they love
+Change--for there never was any--always upset her very much
+Charm; and the quieter it was, the more he liked it
+Compassion was checked by the tone of that close voice
+Conceived for that law a bitter distaste
+Conscious beauty
+Detached and brotherly attitude towards his own son
+Did not mean to try and get out of it by vulgar explanation
+Did not want to be told of an infirmity
+Dislike of humbug
+Dogs: with rudiments of altruism and a sense of God
+Don't care whether we're right or wrong
+Don't hurt others more than is absolutely necessary
+Early morning does not mince words
+Era which had canonised hypocrisy
+Evening not conspicuous for open-heartedness
+Everything in life he wanted--except a little more breath
+Fatigued by the insensitive, he avoided fatiguing others
+Felt nearly young

+Forsytes always bat
+Free will was the strength of any tie, and not its weakness
+Get something out of everything you do
+Greater expense can be incurred for less result than anywhere
+Hard-mouthed women who laid down the law
+He could not plead with her; even an old man has his dignity
+He saw himself reflected: An old-looking chap
+Health--He did not want it at such cost
+Horses were very uncertain
+I have come to an end; if you want me, here I am
+I never stop anyone from doing anything
+I shan't marry a good man, Auntie, they're so dull!
+If not her lover in deed he was in desire
+Importance of mundane matters became increasingly grave
+Intolerable to be squeezed out slowly, without a say youself
+Ironical, which is fatal to expansiveness
+Ironically mistrustful
+Is anything more pathetic than the faith of the young?
+It was their great distraction: To wait!
+Know how not to grasp and destroy!
+Law takes a low view of human nature
+Let her come to me as she will, when she will ,
+Little notion of how to butter her bread
+Living on his capital
+Longing to escape in generalities beset him
+Love has no age, no limit; and no death
+Man had money, he was free in law and fact
+Ministered to his daughter's love of domination
+More spiritual enjoyment of his coffee and cigar
+Never give himself away
+Never seemed to have occasion for verbal confidences
+Never since had any real regard for conventional morality
+Never to see yourself as others see you
+No money! What fate could compare with that?
+None of them quite knew what she meant
+None of us--none of us can hold on for ever!
+Not going to run with the hare and hunt with the hounds
+Nothing left to do but enjoy beauty from afar off
+Nothing overmastering in his feeling
+Old men learn to forego their whims
+One cannot see the havoc oneself is working
+One could break away into irony--as indeed he often had to
+One who has never known a struggle with desperation
+One's never had enough
+Only aversion lasts
+Only Time was good for sorrow
+Own feelings were not always what mattered most
+People who don't live are wonderfully preserved
+Perching-place; never-never her cage!
+Philosophy of one on whom the world had turned its back
+Pity, they said, was akin to love!
+Preferred to concentrate on the ownership of themselves
+Putting up a brave show of being natural
+Quiet possession of his own property
+Quivering which comes when a man has received a deadly insult
+Self-consciousness is a handicap
+Selfishness of age had not set its proper grip on him
+Sense of justice stifled condemnation
+Servants knew everything, and suspected the rest
+Shall not expect this time more than I can get, or she can give
+She used to expect me to say it more often than I felt it
+Sideways look which had reduced many to silence in its time
+Smiled because he could have cried
+So difficult to be sorry for him
+'So we go out!' he thought 'No more beauty! Nothing?'
+Socialists: they want our goods
+Sorrowful pleasure
+Spirit of the future, with the charm of the unknown
+Striking horror of the moral attitude

+Surprised that he could have had so paltry an idea
+Tenderness to the young
+Thank you for that good lie
+Thanks awfully
+That dog was a good dog
+The Queen--God bless her!
+The soundless footsteps on the grass!
+There was no one in any sort of authority to notice him
+There went the past!
+To seem to be respectable was to be
+Too afraid of committing himself in any direction

+
+PASSAGES FROM THE TEXT:
+
+Coercion was unpopular, parents had exalted notions of giving their
+offspring a good time. They spoiled their rods, spared their children,
+and anticipated the results with enthusiasm.
+
+And yet, in his inner tissue, there was something of the old founder of
+his family, a secret tenacity of soul, a dread of showing his feelings, a
+determination not to know when he was beaten. Sensitive, imaginative,
+affectionate boys get a bad time at school, but Jon had instinctively
+kept his nature dark, and been but normally unhappy there
+
+
+LINES FROM THE TEXT:
+
+A philosopher when he has all that he wants is different
+Accustomed to assurance in the youthful manner
+Adept at keeping things to herself
+Admiration of beauty and longing for possession are not love
+Afraid to enjoy to-day for fear he might not enjoy tomorrow
+All else, then, was but preliminary to this!
+But they could not keep his eyebrows down
+Can you stand this spiritualistic racket?
+Clear eyes and an almost depressing amount of common sense
+Could fear go with a smile?
+Delicacy became a somewhat minor consideration
+Determination not to know when he was beaten
+Difficult it is for elders to give themselves away to the young
+Dinner--consecrated to the susceptibilities of the butler
+Disliked the idea of dying
+Felt suddenly he might say things she would regret
+Fixed idea
+Guileless snobbery of youth
+How much better than men women play a waiting game
+I've got it in the neck, only the feeling is really lower down
+Inoculated against the germs of love by small doses
+Lest by some dreadful inadvertence they might drop into a tune
+Life's awful like a lot of monkeys scramblin' for empty nuts
+Like a man uninsured, with his ships at sea
+Lunch was the sort a man dreams of but seldom gets
+Malaise of one who contemplates himself as seen by another
+Men were judged in this world rather by what they were
+Nobody can spoil a life, my dear
+One does not precisely choose with whom one will fall in love
+Only sort of life that doesn't hurt anybody; except art
+Parasitically clinging on to the effortless close of a life
+Private possession underlay everything worth having
+Purpose of marriage was children, not mere sinful happiness
+Question so moot that it was not mooted
+Quiet tenacity with which he had converted a mediocre talent
+Spoiled their rods, spared their children
+Take himself seriously, yet never bore others
+Tarred with cynicism, realism, and immorality like the French
+The young have such cheap, hard judgment
+They can't have my private property and my public spirit-both
+Thought we were progressing--now we know we're only changing
+To be kind and keep your end up--there's nothing else in it
+Unless one believed there was something in a thing, there wasn't
+Victory in defeat
+Wishes father thought but they don't breed evidence
+You are a giver, Jon; she is a taker
+Younger every day, till at last he had been too young to live
+Youth's eagerness to give with both hands, to take with neither

+I wish you would attend to your own faults, and not pry into other
+people's.
+
+But I think that when we hope, we are not brave, because we are expecting
+something for ourselves. Chris says that hope is prayer, and if it is
+prayer, then all the time we are hoping, we are asking for something, and
+it is not brave to ask for things.
+
+Then from in front I heard sobbing--a man's sobs; no sound is quite so
+dreadful.
+
+"Ah!" muttered Mr. Treffry, "you're obstinate enough, but obstinacy isn't
+strength."
+
+It has always been my, belief that a man must neither beg anything of a
+woman, nor force anything from her. Women are generous--they will give
+you what they can.
+
+Has it ever struck you that each one of us lives on the edge of a
+volcano? There is, I imagine, no one who has not some affection or
+interest so strong that he counts the rest for nothing, beside it.

+Attend to your own faults, and not pry into other people's
+Beastly as a vulgar woman's laugh

+Can we never have quite enough?
+Charming generalities
+Constitutionally averse to being pitied
+Contentment that men experience at the misfortunes of an enemy
+Could never tell exactly when to stop
+Each one of us lives on the edge of a volcano
+Every bird singing from the bottom of his heart
+Fear and anger in me are very much the same
+Free from all self-consciousness
+Her imperfections were beautiful to me
+How simply he assumed that he was going to be great
+In a time of agony one finds out what are the things one can do

+Man can only endure about half his joy; about half his sorrow
+Man must neither beg anything of a woman, nor force anything
+Men who haven't the courage of their own ideas
+Never grossly drunk, and rarely very sober
+Not a bad rule that measures men by the balance at their banks
+Obstinate enough, but obstinacy isn't strength
+Only understand what they can see and touch
+People may become utter strangers without a word
+So sacred that they melt away at the approach of words
+Spring; it makes one want more than one has got
+Time is everything
+What is it to be brave?
+What's not enough for one is not enough for two
+When things have come to a crisis, how little one feels
+When we hope, we are not brave
+With an air of sacrificing to the public good
+Women are generous--they will give you what they can
+You can't punish unless you make to feel
+You may force a body; how can you force a soul?
+You're glad that hope is dead, it means rest

+The Russian proverb: "The heart of another is a dark forest."

+We're used to it, you see; there's no excitement in what you're used to.
+
+If geological time be taken as twenty-four hours, man's existence on
+earth so far equals just two seconds of it; after a few more seconds,
+when man has been frozen off the earth, geological time will stretch for
+as long again, before the earth bumps into something, and be comes nebula

+two seconds out of twenty-four hours--if man is His pet concern?

+"People do not like you to be different. If ever in your life you act
+differently from others, you will find it so, mademoiselle."

+She never went to meet life, but when it came, made the best of it. This

+Daddy's a darling; but I don't always believe what he believes
+Depressing to think that I would go on living after death
+Difficult for a good man to see the evil round him
+Efforts to eliminate instinct
+Events are the parents of the future
+Events were the children of the past
+For we are mad--nothing to speak of, but just a little
+Forget all about oneself in what one is doing
+God is the helping of man by man
+Happiness never comes when you are looking for it
+I don't believe, and I can't pray
+I shall hate God for His cruelty
+I think it's cruel that we can't take what we can while we can
+If he'd drop the habits of authority
+If you're not ashamed of yourself, no one will be ashamed of you
+In opening your hearts you feel that you lose authority
+It must be dreadful to grow old, and pass the time!
+Let the dead past bury its dead
+Life's a huge wide adaptable thing!
+Man is His pet concern?
+Marvellous speeder-up of Love is War
+Men will be just as brutal afterwards--more brutal
+My mistress, mademoiselle, is not a thing of flesh. It is art
+Needs must when the devil drives--that's all
+Oughtn't to mind us taking what we can
+People do not like you to be different
+Prayers which come so glibly from unbelievers
+Revolt against a world so murderous and uncharitable
+Seemed to know that in silence was her strength

+
+These letters of his were the most amazing portion of that fortnight.
+They were remarkable for failing to express any single one of his real
+thoughts, but they were full of sentiments which were not what he was
+truly feeling; and when he set himself to analyse, he had such moments of
+delirium that he was scared, and shocked, and quite unable to write
+anything. He made the discovery that no two human beings ever tell each
+other what they really feel.
+
+There was nothing in that book to startle him or make him think.
+
+And yet they were kind--that is, fairly kind--and clean and quiet in the
+house, except when they laughed, which was often, and at things which
+made him want to howl as a dog howls at music.

+The Rector, who practically never suffered, disliked the thought and
