“Love itself draws on a woman nearly all the bad luck in the world”
“It's awful bad luck to bring a woman aboard the ship.""It's awful worse luck not to.”
“There is no bad luck in the world but whitefolks”
“I guess you are all right. That was bad luck all right. Plenty bad luck.”
“For there is merely bad luck in not being loved; there is misfortune in not loving.”
“I can not help it; as I draw near to you, you, in your turn will draw near to others, and learn the rapture of that cruelty, which yet is love; so, for a while, seek to know no more of me and mine, but trust me with all your loving spirit.”
