Ellen Glasgow Believe Quotations

Cruelty, I truly believe, is the one and only sin.

I am inclined to believe that a man may be free to do anything he pleases if only he will accept responsibility for whatever he does.

I hated the things they believe in, the things they so innocently and charmingly pretended. I hated the sanctimonious piety that let people hurt helpless creatures. I hated the prayers and the hymns - the fountains and the red images that coloured their drab music, the fountains filled with blood, the sacrifice of the lamb.

The hardest thing to believe when you're young is that people will fight to stay in a rut, but not to get out of one.

marriage is mostly puttin' up with things, I reckon, when it ain't makin' believe.
