“There were many beautiful vipers in those days and she was one of them. ("Eveline's Visitant")”
“But having more freedom she only became more profoundly aware of the big want. She wanted so many things. She wanted to read great, beautiful books, and be rich with them; she wanted to see beautiful things, and have the joy of them for ever; she wanted to know big, free people; and there remained always the want she could put no name to?It was so difficult. There were so many things, so much to meet and surpass. And one never knew where one was going.”
“So many people came into your life, and they were such a part of the everyday that it was impossible to imagine them gone until, one day, they were.”
“The ideal has many names and beauty is but one of them.”
“In those days, we finally chose to walk like giants and hold the world in arms grown strong with loveAnd there may be many things we forget in the days to come,But this will not be one of them.”
“She was beautiful, in the quiet way that lonely, unnoticed people are beautiful to those who notice them.”
