„Die Stille eines Mannes ist wunderbar zu hören.“

Thomas Hardy

„Für eine Frau ist es schwierig, ihre Gefühle in einer Sprache zu definieren, die hauptsächlich von Männern gemacht wird, um ihre auszudrücken.“

Thomas Hardy

„Wenn Frauen geheim sind, sind sie tatsächlich geheim. Und nicht selten werden sie erst mit dem Aufkommen eines zweiten Liebhabers geheim.“

Thomas Hardy

„Ich finde, wenn Kinder geboren werden, die man nicht haben will, dann sollten sie gleich tot gemacht werden, ehe sie Seelen kriegen, und man sollte sie gar nicht groß werden und herum laufen lassen!“

Thomas Hardy buch Jude the Obscure

Jude the Obscure

„Der Arzt sagte, solche Kinder kämen jetzt manchmal vor – Kinder, wie sie die vorige Generation nicht gekannt habe -, das Ergebnis neuer Anschauungen vom Leben. Es ist, als sähen diese Kinder alle seine Schrecknisse, ehe sie alt genug sind, die nötige Widerstandskraft dagegen aufzubringen. Er sagt, es wäre der Anfang des kommenden allgemeinen Wunsches, nicht zu leben.“

Thomas Hardy

„… sie bewegte sich in einer mentalen Wolke vielfarbiger Idealitäten, die alle finsteren Eventualitäten durch ihre Helligkeit in den Schatten stellte.“

Thomas Hardy

„Ihre Zuneigung zu ihm war jetzt der Atem und das Leben von Tesss Wesen; es umhüllte sie wie eine Photosphäre, strahlte sie in die Vergesslichkeit ihrer vergangenen Sorgen aus und hielt die düsteren Gespenster zurück, die bei ihren Versuchen, sie zu berühren, fortbestehen würden - Zweifel, Angst, Launenhaftigkeit, Besorgnis, Scham. Sie wusste, dass sie wie Wölfe direkt vor dem eigrenzenden Licht warteten, aber sie hatte lange Zaubermacht, um sie dort in hungriger Unterwerfung zu halten.“

“To dwellers in a wood almost every species of tree has its voice as well as its feature. At the passing of the breeze the fir-trees sob and moan no less distinctly than they rock; the holly whistles as it battles with itself; the ash hisses amid its quiverings; the beech rustles while its flat boughs rise and fall.”

“Silence has sometimes a remarkable power of showing itself as the disembodied sould of feeling wandering without its carcase, and it is then more impressive than speech. In the same way to say a little is often to tell more than to say.”
