Strana 444 - The casuists have become a byword of reproach; but their perverted spirit of 'minute discrimination was the shadow of a truth to which eyes and hearts are too often fatally sealed — the truth, that moral judgments must remain false and hollow, unless they are checked and enlightened by a perpetual reference to the special circumstances that mark the individual lot.
Strana 444 - The great problem of the shifting relation between passion and duty is clear to no man who is capable of apprehending it : the question whether the moment has come in which a man has fallen below the possibility of a renunciation that will carry any efficacy, and must accept the sway of a passion against which he had struggled as a trespass, is one for whic'h we have no master-key that will fit all cases. The casuists have become a...
Strana 370 - Philip had brightened at the proposition, for there is no feeling, perhaps, except the extremes of fear and grief, that does not find relief in music — that does not make a man sing or play the better...
Strana 33 - I won't tell you," said Tom, thrusting his hand back into his pocket, and looking determined. " No, Tom," said Maggie, imploringly, laying hold of the arm that was held stiffly in the pocket. " I'm not cross, Tom ; it was only because I can't bear guessing. Please be good to me.
Strana 259 - It was written down by a hand that waited for the heart's prompting; it is the chronicle of a solitary, hidden anguish, struggle, trust and triumph — not written on velvet cushions to teach endurance to those who are treading with bleeding feet on the stones. And so it remains to all time a lasting record of human needs and human consolations: the voice of a brother who, ages ago, felt and suffered and renounced...
Strana 9 - A WIDE plain, where the broadening Floss hurries on between its green banks to the sea, and the loving tide, rushing to meet it, checks its passage with an impetuous embrace.
Strana 34 - Oh, how brave you are, Tom ! I think you're like Samson. If there came a lion roaring at me, I think you'd fight him — wouldn't you, Tom?" " How can a lion come roaring at you, you silly thing ? There's no lions only in the shows.
Strana 211 - ... a creature full of eager, passionate longings for all that was beautiful and glad; thirsty for all knowledge; with an ear straining after dreamy music that died away and would not come near to her; with a blind, unconscious yearning for something that would link together the wonderful impressions of this mysterious life, and give her soul a sense of home in it.
Strana 463 - But there was no color, no shape yet ; all was faint and dim. More and more strongly the energies seemed to come and put themselves forth, as if her life were a stored-up force that was being spent in this hour, unneeded for any future. She must get her boat into the current of the Floss, else she would never be able to pass the Ripple and approach the house : this was the thought that occurred to her as she imagined with more and more vividness the state of things round the old home. But then she...
Strana 101 - I'm often very unhappy. I should have liked to bring my books with me, but I came away in a hurry, you know. But I can tell you almost everything there is in my books, I've read them so many times, and that will amuse you.
