Thomas Hardy Looks Quotations

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.

If a path to the better there be, it begins with a full look at the worst.

It may have been observed that there is no regular path for getting out of love as there is for getting in. Some people look upon marriage as a short cut that way, but it has been known to fail.

And at home by the fire, whenever you look up there I shall be— and whenever I look up, there will be you. -Gabriel Oak
