One is not to get your heart's desire. The other is to get it." ~ Man And Superman by George Bernard Shaw "Second to the right, and straight on till morning." ~ Peter Pan by James M. Barrie "My intellect is a little way upon the wrong side of that narrow boundary-line between sanity and insanity." ~ Lady Audley's Secret by Mary Elizabeth Braddon "Circumstantial evidence," continued the young man, as if he scarcely heard Lady Audley's interruption-"that wonderful fabric which is built out of straws collected at every point of the compass, and which is yet strong enough to hang a man." ~ Lady Audley's Secret by Mary Elizabeth Braddon There can be no reconciliation where there is no open warfare. There must be a battle, a brave, boisterous battle, with pennants waving and cannon roaring, before there can be peaceful treaties and enthusiastic shaking of hands. ~ Lady Audley's Secret by Mary Elizabeth Braddon This man, who violated the laws of heaven and earth with little terror of the Divine vengeance, feared above all to be cut by the men of his set. ~ Run to Earth by Mary Elizabeth Braddon When once estrangement has arisen between those who truly love each other, everything tends to widen the breach. ~ Run to Earth by Mary Elizabeth Braddon
