“The love of girls is uncertain, capricious, and so foolish that we cannot always discover what the young lady would be at; it may almost be doubted that whether she always knows this herself.”

- Henry Fielding (The History of Tom Jones, A Foundling)

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

- Frank Herbert, Dune (via halleulah)

“Love her, love her, love her! If she favours you, love her. If she wounds you, love her. If she tears your heart into pieces—and as it gets deeper and stronger it will tear deeper—love her, love her, love her!”

- Charles Dickens, Great Expectations (via halleulah)

““I’ll tell you,” said she, in the same hurried passionate whisper, “what real love is. It is blind devotion, unquestioning self-humilitation, utter submission, trust and belief against yourself and against the whole world, giving up your whole heart and soul to the smiter—as I did!”

- Charles Dickens, Great Expectations (via halleulah)

“Once and for all; I knew to my sorrow, often and often, if not always, that I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be. Once and for all; I loved her none the less because I knew it, and it had no restraining me, than if I had devoutly believed her to be human perfection.”

- Charles Dickens, Great Expectations (via halleulah)

“When the Day of Judgment dawns and people, great and small, come marching in to receive their heavenly rewards, the Almighty will gaze upon the mere bookworms and say to Peter, “Look, these need no reward. We have nothing to give them. They have loved reading.””

- Virginia Woolf (via halleulah)

““Alas,” replied the preceptor, “it was love; love the comfort of the human species; love, the preserver of the universe; the soul of all sensible beings; love! tender love!””

- Voltaire, Candide (via halleulah)
