Soul Quotes

"Books are the mirrors of the soul." ~ Between the Acts by Virginia Woolf Human beings, on the contrary, have a soul which lives forever, lives after the body has been turned to dust. It rises up through the clear, pure air beyond the glittering stars. ~ The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen "Anybody is liable to rheumatism in her legs, Anne. It's only old people who should have rheumatism in their souls, though. Thank goodness, I never have. When you get rheumatism in your soul you might as well go and pick out your coffin." ~ Anne of the Island by Lucy Maud Montgomery "I don't like irony," she said; "it indicates a small soul." ~ The Land That Time Forgot by Edgar Rice Burroughs What is it that sometimes speaks in the soul so calmly, so clearly, that its earthly time is short? Is it the secret instinct of decaying nature, or the soul's impulsive throb, as immortality draws on? Be it what it may, it rested in the heart of Eva, a calm, sweet, prophetic certainty that Heaven was near; calm as the light of sunset, sweet as the bright stillness of autumn, there her little heart reposed, only troubled by sorrow for those who loved her so dearly. ~ Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe "There is such a thing as looking through a person's eyes into the heart, and learning more of the height, and breadth, and depth of another's soul in one hour than it might take you a lifetime to discover, if he or she were not disposed to reveal it, or if you had not the sense to understand it." ~ The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte The absence of the soul is far more terrible in a living man than in a dead one. ~ Barnaby Rudge by Charles Dickens Resignation brings a curious large courage--when there is nothing more to lose. The soul takes risks, and dares. Is it a curious short-cut sometimes to the heights? ~ The Man Whom the Trees Loved by Algernon Blackwood "I do hate singing before that sort of audience. It is like giving them your soul to look at, and you don't want them to see it. It seems indecent. To my mind, music is the most REVEALING thing in the world." ~ The Rosary by Florence L. Barclay I thought there should in truth be heavy damages for malpractice on human souls. ~ The Virginian by Owen Wister
