I am here, Brethren in Christ, to lead you, every man, woman and little child of the Faith, to freedom. God in His mercy be praised? Dorothy Dunnett
He had never thought the question over clearly, but vaguely imagined that his wife had long suspected him of being unfaithful to her and was looking the other way.

Homer quote: "As I lay dying, the woman with the dog's eyes would not close..."
As I lay dying, the woman with the dog's eyes would not close my eyes as I descended into Hades. Homer
I looked at her; I saw a slipshod permanet crumpling her hair into a shapeless mass of curls; I saw a brown overcoat, pitifully threadbare and a bit too shot; I saw a face both unobtrusively attractive and attractively unobtrusive; I sensed in this young woman tranquillity, simplicity and modesty, and I felt that these were qualities I needed; moreover, it seemed to me that we were very much akin: all I had to do was to go up and start talking to her and she would smile as if a long-lost...

Deep in that part of my heart where artificial rain forever falls, that is still the line I want to hear. Joan Didion
Laurell K. Hamilton quote: "You did not bring down two of the royal guard in an..."
You did not bring down two of the royal guard in an unceremonious heap because the woman in the middle tripped. Laurell K. Hamilton
She opened her curtains, and looked out towards the bit of road that lay in view, with fields beyond outside the entrance-gates. On the road there was a man with a bundle on his back and a woman carrying her baby; in the field she could see figures moving - perhaps the shepherd with his dog. Far off in the bending sky was the pearly light; and she felt the largeness of the world and the manifold wakings of men to labor and endurance. She was a part of that involuntary, palpitating life, and... George Eliot
Louisa May Alcott quote: "A real gentleman is as polite to a little girl as to a woman."
A real gentleman is as polite to a little girl as to a woman. Louisa May Alcott
What woman, indeed, among the most faithful adherents of the truth, believes the promises and threats of the Word in the sense in which she believes in her own children, or would not throw her theology to the wind if weighed against their happiness? Thomas Hardy
John Ruskin quote: "The path of a good woman is indeed strewn with flowers; but..."
The path of a good woman is indeed strewn with flowers; but they rise behind her steps, not before them. John Ruskin
A man may ask anything of a woman, but unless he wishes to behave like a brute, he must make it possible for her to act in harmony with her deepest self-deceptions. Milan Kundera
Bram Stoker quote: "No man knows till he experiences it, what it is like to feel..."
No man knows till he experiences it, what it is like to feel his own life-blood drawn away into the woman he loves. Bram Stoker
From the Grapes of Wrath and a woman that would not be moved: "'On'y way you gonna get me to go is whup me.' She moved the jack handle gently again. 'An' I'll shame you, Pa. I won't take no whuppin', cryin' an' a-beggin'. I'll light into you. An' you ain't so sure you can whup me anyways. An' if ya do get me, I swear to God I'll wait till you got your back turned, or you're settin' down, an' I'll knock you belly-up with a bucket. I swear to Holy Jesus' sake I will. John Steinbeck
Each man or woman was a mansion in a condition between grandness and disrepair, and even in a grand palace, sometimes a room existed in which no one but the resident would ever be welcome. Dean Koontz
