Love Gone Bad Quotes

It is so easy for a woman to become what the man she loves believes her to be! ~ The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton "Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automaton?—a machine without feelings? And can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!—I have as much soul as you,—and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh;—it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal,—as we are!" ~ Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte "I gave him my heart, and he took and pinched it to death, and flung it back to me." ~ Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte Love can excuse anything except meanness; but meanness kills love, cripples even natural affection; without esteem true love cannot exist. ~ Shirley by Charlotte Bronte Love is real—the most real, the most lasting, the sweetest and yet the bitterest thing we know. ~ Shirley by Charlotte Bronte A man desires to win a virgin heart, and is happy to know,—or at least to believe,—that he has won it. With a woman every former rival is an added victim to the wheels of the triumphant chariot in which she is sitting. ~ Phineas Finn by Anthony Trollope "Must we be strangers, you and I, because there was a time in which we were almost more than friends?" ~ Phineas Finn by Anthony Trollope I could not unlove him now, merely because I found that he had ceased to notice me. ~ Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte Of all hatreds that the world produces, a wife's hatred for her husband, when she does hate him, is the strongest. ~ Phineas Redux by Anthony Trollope Love is poison. A sweet poison, yes, but it will kill you all the same. ~ A Clash of Kings by George R. R. Martin
