Dorian Gray listened, open-eyed and wondering. The spray of lilac fell from his hand upon the gravel. A furry bee came and buzzed round it for a moment. Then it began to scramble all over the oval stellated globe of the tiny blossoms. He watched it with that strange interest in trivial things that we try to develop when things of high import make us afraid, or when we are stirred by some new emotion for which we cannot find expression, or when some though that terrifies us lays sudden siege... Oscar Wilde
I assumed that everything must yield to me, that the entire universe had to flatter my whims, and that I had the right to satisfy them at will. Marquis de Sade
When people learn to master their feelings, they can soon learn to master their reflections and thoughts in the degree requisite for attaining the objects they are seeking. But while they yield to a feeling or spirit that distracts their minds from a subject they wish to study and learn, so long they will never gain the mastery of their minds. Brigham Young
Louisa May Alcott quote: "She fell into the moody, miserable state of mind which often..."
She fell into the moody, miserable state of mind which often comes when strong wills have to yield to the inevitable. Louisa May Alcott
And now,' said the unknown, 'farewell kindness, humanity, and gratitude! Farewell to all the feelings that expand the heart! I have been heaven's substitute to recompense the good - now the god of vengeance yields to me his power to punish the wicked! Alexander Dumas
It is immoral that a mattress should have so much power. Triumph of that which yields over that which strikes with lightning. But never mind, glory to the mattress which annuls a cannon! Victor Hugo

Wisdom must yield to superstition's rules, Who arms with bigot zeal the hand of fools. Voltaire
