Date of Birth21 April 1816
sky steel world
I like this day; I like that sky of steel; I like the sternness and stillness of the world under this frost.
destiny world today
Human beings never enjoy complete happiness in this world. I was not born for a different destiny to the rest of my species: to imagine such a lot befalling me is a fairy tale -- a daydream." "Which I can and will realise. I shall begin today.
lying love-you world
I am not deceitful: if I were, I should say I loved you; but I declare I do not love you: I dislike you the worst of anybody in the world.
sister world affection
You know full well as I do the value of sisters' affections: There is nothing like it in this world.
world demand maids
Old maids like the houseless and unemployed poor, should not ask for a place and an occupation in the world: the demand disturbs the happy and the rich.
real world fields
I remembered that the real world was wide, and that a varied field of hopes and fears, of sensations and excitments, awaited those who had the courage to go forth into it's expanse, to seek real knowledge of life amidst it's perils.
world faces looks
You have rather the look of another world. I marvelled where you had got that sort of face.
country patriotism world
On the contrary, I'm a universal patriot, if you could understand me rightly: my country is the world.
character vision world
I longed for a power of vision which might overpass that limit; which might reach the busy world, towns, regions full of life I had heard of but never seen: that I desired more of practical experience than I possessed; more of intercourse with my kind, of acquaintance with variety of character, than was here within my reach.
happiness world potatoes
No mockery in the world ever sounds to me as hollow as that of being told to cultivate happiness. Happiness is not a potato, to be planted in mould, and tilled with manure.
bitter draught feeling feelings human judgment
Feeling without judgment is a washy draught indeed; but judgment untempered by feeling is too bitter and husky a morsel for human deglutition.

truthful
The soul, fortunately, has an interpreter -- often an unconscious, but still a truthful interpreter -- in the eye.
brother exercise men
Women are supposed to be very calm generally: but women feel just as men feel; they need exercise for their faculties, and a field for their efforts as much as their brothers do; they suffer from too rigid a restraint, too absolute a stagnation, precisely as men would suffer; and it is narrow-minded in their more privileged fellow-creatures to say that they ought to confine themselves to making puddings and knitting stockings, to playing on the piano and embroidering bags.
