“It is an heretic that makes the fire, Not she which burns in't.”
“No agnostic ever burned anyone at the stake or tortured a pagan, a heretic, or an unbeliever.”
“I burnt as in a fire in her presence ... but what did I care to know what the fire was in which I burned and melted--it was enough that it was sweet to burn and melt.”
“Come, Miss Jane, don't cry,' said Bessie, as she finished. She might as well have said to the fire, 'Don't burn!' but how could she divine the morbid suffering to which I was a prey?”
“Though this be madness, yet there is method in't.”
“When one burns one's bridges, what a very nice fire it makes.”
