101 " And when I was told insultingly to cease 'my girlish tears,' that word 'girlish' had no sting for me, except as a verbal echo to the one eternal thought of my heart - that a girl was the sweetest thing I, in my short life, had known - that a girl it was who had crowned the earth with beauty, and had opened to my thirst fountains of pure celestial love, from which, in this world, I was to drink no more. "
― Thomas De Quincey , Suspiria de Profundis
102 " Hayatımda hiçbir zaman, insan biçimindeki herhangi bir yaratığa dokunmak ya da yaklaşmakla kendini kirlenmiş sayacak bir insan olmadım ben. "
― Thomas De Quincey , Confessions of an English Opium Eater
103 " For a philosopher should not see in the eyes of the poor limitary creature calling himself a man of the world, and filled with the narrow and self-regarding prejudices of birth and education, but should look upon himself as a Catholic creature, and as standing in an equal relation to high and low - to educated and uneducated, to the guilty and the innocent. "
― Thomas De Quincey
