Herself Quotes (page 30)

Every Mother contains her daughter in herself and every daughter her mother and every mother extends backwards into her mother and forwards into her daughter. Carl Jung
Margaret Atwood quote: "She knows herself to be at the mercy of events, and she knows..."
She knows herself to be at the mercy of events, and she knows by now that events have no mercy. Margaret Atwood
Nor shall this peace sleep with her; but as when. The bird of wonder dies, the maiden phoenix, Her ashes new-create another heir. As great in admiration as herself. William Shakespeare
She'd been a good nurse, and now she'd never be a nurse again. She was bitter about it and had turned herself into the slut bride from Planet X, as if even in human form, she wanted people to know what she was now: different, other. Trouble was, she looked like a thousand other teens and early twenties who also wanted to be different and stand out. Laurell K. Hamilton
What she craved and really felt herself entitled to was a situation in which the noblest attitude should also be the easiest. Edith Wharton
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
Sherwood Anderson quote: "she thought that something unexpressed in herself came forth..."
...she thought that something unexpressed in herself came forth and became a part of an unexpressed something in them. Sherwood Anderson
Since then her life had been peaceful and happy. She had allowed herself to be worshipped by that strangely captivating lover of hers, whose passionately willful temperament, tempered by that persistent, sunny gaiety, she had up to now only half understood. Baroness Orczy
There was nothing ugly in the small, unprepossessing figure of this emancipated woman, but the expression on her face made a bad impression on the viewer. One felt inclined to ask: "What's the matter? Are you hungry? Bored? Afraid? Why so tense?" Just like Sitnikov, she was always anxious. She spoke and moved in a rather casual, though awkward, manner: she obviously considered herself a good-natured, simple creature; at the same time, no matter what she did, it always seemed that she didn't... Ivan Turgenev
If reason be judge, no writer has produced such inconsistent characters as nature herself has. It must call for no small sagacity in a reader unerringly to discriminate in a novel between the inconsistencies of conception and those of life. As elsewhere, experience is the only guide here; but as no one man’s experience can be coextensive with what is, it may be unwise in every case to rest upon it. Herman Melville
She kept asking herself whether, if he had looked cleaner, she might have been more concerned; whether, on some subliminal level, she had confused his obvious signs of neglect with street-smartness, toughness and resilience. J. K. Rowling
She was desperate and she was choosy at the same time and, in a way, beautiful, but she didn’t have quite enough going for her to become what she imagined herself to be. Charles Bukowski
Anne Sexton quote: "The little girl skipped by under the wrinkled oak leaves and..."
The little girl skipped by under the wrinkled oak leaves and held fast to a replica of herself. Anne Sexton
she thought that after what she had been through during the invasion she would stop being petty and grow up, grow wise and strong, but she had overestimated herself Milan Kundera
They walked on in silence. Katie's heart was beating with a rapidity that forbade speech. Nothing like this very direct young man had ever happened to her before. She had grown so accustomed to regarding herself as something too insignificant and unattractive for the notice of the lordly male that she was overwhelmed. She had a vague feeling that there was a mistake somewhere. It surely could not be she who was proving so alluring to this fairy prince. The novelty of the situation frightened... P. G. Wodehouse
