1 " She lost her illusions in the collapse of her sympathies. "
― D.H. Lawrence , The Virgin and the Gipsy
2 " She, who was bored almost to agony, and who had nothing at all to do, she had not time to think even, seriously, of anything. Time being, after all, only the current of the soul in its flow. "
3 " Why are we all only like mortal pieces of furniture? Why is nothing important? "
4 " Be braver in your body, or your luck will leave you. . . . Listen for the voice of water. "
5 " Like a great bog humanity swamped her, and she sank in, weak at the knees, filled with repulsion and fear of every person she met. "
6 " It is very much easier to shatter prison-bars than to open undiscovered doors to life. "
7 " She had to live. It is useless to quarrel with one's bread and butter. And to expect a great deal out of life is puerile. "
8 " He knew his heart's core was a fat, awful worm. His dread was lest anyone else should know. His anguish of hate was against anyone who knew, and recoiled. "
