“I can receive nothing more from these tragic solitudes than a little empty purity.”

“I have been much too calm these past three years. I can receive nothing more from these tragic solitudes than a little empty purity.”

“Please make me empty, if I'm empty then I can receive, if I can receive it means it comes from somewhere outside of me, if it comes from outside of me I'm not alone! I cannot bear this loneliness. Above all it is loneliness.”

“Nothing is more dangerous than solitude.”

“There is nothing worse than solitude. Solitude can help a man realize himself; but it destroys a woman”

“I can give her no greater power than she has already, said the woman; don't you see how strong that is? How men and animals are obliged to serve her, and how well she has got through the world, barefooted as she is. She cannot receive any power from me greater than she now has, which consists in her own purity and innocence of heart. If she cannot herself obtain access to the Snow Queen, and remove the glass fragments from little Kay, we can do nothing to help her.”
