Thomas Hardy, Tess of the D'Urbervilles

"That it would always be summer and autumn, and you always courting me, and always thinking as much of me as you have done through the past summertime!"

"Let truth be told - women do as a rule live through such humiliations, and regain their spirits, and again look about them with an interested eye. While there's life there's hope is a connviction not so entirely unknown to the "betrayed"as some amiable theorists would have us believe."
