Quotes

Of love it may be said, the less earthly the less demonstrative. In its absolutely indestructible form it reaches a profundity in which all exhibition of itself is painful. Thomas Hardy
Jude leaped out of arm's reach, and walked along the trackway weeping--not from the pain, though that was keen enough; not from the perception of the flaw in the terrestrial scheme, by which what was good for God's birds was bad for God's gardener; but with the awful sense that he had wholly disgraced himself before he had been a year in the parish, and hence might be a burden to his great-aunt for life. Thomas Hardy
And in being forced to class herself among the fortunate she did not cease to wonder at the persistence of the unforeseen, when the one to whom such unbroken tranquility had been accorded in the adult stage was she whose youth had seemed to teach that happiness was but the occasional episode in a general drama of pain. Thomas Hardy
Thomas Hardy quote: "Happiness is but a mere episode in the general drama of pain."
Happiness is but a mere episode in the general drama of pain. Thomas Hardy
Thomas Hardy quote: "happiness [is] but the occasional episode in a general drama..."
happiness [is] but the occasional episode in a general drama of pain. Thomas Hardy
Meanwhile, the trees were just as green as before; the birds sang and the sun shone as clearly now as ever. The familiar surroundings had not darkened because of her grief, nor sickened because of her pain. She might have seen that what had bowed her head so profoundly -the thought of the world's concern at her situation- was found on an illusion. She was not an existence, an experience, a passion, a structure of sensations, to anybody but herself. Thomas Hardy
There are accents in the eye which are not on the tongue, and more tales come from pale lips than can enter an ear. It is both the grandeur and the pain of the remoter moods that they avoid the pathway of sound. Thomas Hardy
Four months or so of torturing ecstasy in his society - of "pleasure girded about with pain." After that the blackness of unutterable night. Thomas Hardy
Thomas Hardy quote: "It is rarely that the pleasures of the imagination will..."
It is rarely that the pleasures of the imagination will compensate for the pain of sleeplessness, Thomas Hardy
