“She had not really a sensitive soul, but to put it in exact terms, was possessed by an uncontrollable feeling of mind”
“Do not give in too much to feelings. A overly sensitive heart is an unhappy possession on this shaky earth.”
“She feels lonely all the time, she wants to be accepted, by anyone, on any terms, but she feels apart. As if nobody who really got to know her would trust her.”
“Whoever possessed knowledge not only had power over the changeable passions of people, but also power over their thinking, over their minds, hearts and souls.”
“I told you she had an inconsequent mind. That's putting it much too mildly. When it comes to anything like evidence, she hasn't really got a mind at all - she just dives into a sort of lumber-room and brings out odds and ends.”
“Your mind will give back exactly what you put into it.”
