„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.“

“If all hearts were open and all desires known — as they would be if people showed their souls — how many gapings, sighings, clenched fists, knotted brows, broad grins, and red eyes should we see in the market-place!”

And swift things have grown slow,
Feigning like froth shall go,
Faith be for aye.”

Shook all our coffins as we lay,
And broke the chancel window-squares,
We thought it was the Judgement Day.”

“In fact, precisely at this transitional point of its nightly roll into darkness the great and particular glory of the Egdon waste began, and nobody could be said to understand the heath who had not been there at such a time. It could best be felt when it could not clearly be seen, its complete effect and explanation lying in this and the succeeding hours before the next dawn; then, and only then, did it tell its true tale.”

Thomas Hardy buch Two on a Tower

Two on a Tower (1882), vol 1, ch. 4 (Swithin St Cleeve speaking to Viviette Constantine)

“Whence comes solace? Not from seeing,
What is doing, suffering, being;
Not from noting Life’s conditions,
Not from heeding Time’s monitions;
But in cleaving to the Dream
And in gazing at the Gleam
Whereby gray things golden seem.”

Projecting trait and trace
Through time to times anon,
And leaping from place to place
Over oblivion.”

“That Elizabeth-Jane Farfrae be not told of my death, or made to grieve on account of me. And that I be not bury'd in consecrated ground. And that no sexton be asked to toll the bell. And that nobody is wished to see my dead body. And that no murners walk behind me at my funeral. And that no flours be planted on my grave. And that no man remember me.”

Thomas Hardy The Dynasts

Pt. II, sc. v, Semichorus I
The Dynasts (1904–1908)

“To find themselves utterly alone at night where company is desirable and expected makes some people fearful; but a case more trying by far to the nerves is to discover some mysterious companionship when intuition, sensation, memory, analogy, testimony, probability, induction — every kind of evidence in the logician's list — have united to persuade consciousness that it is quite in isolation.”

Desperate Remedies (1871), ch. 1

“Sometimes a woman's love of being loved gets the better of her conscience, and though she is agonized at the thought of treating a man cruelly, she encourages him to love her while she doesn't love him at all. Then, when she sees him suffering, her remorse sets in, and she does what she can to repair the wrong.”

Thomas Hardy buch Jude the Obscure

Pt. IV, ch. V
Jude the Obscure (1895)

“An aged thrush, frail, gaunt, and small,
In blast-beruffled plume,
Had chosen thus to fling his soul
Upon the growing gloom.

So little cause for carolings
Of such ecstatic sound
Was written on terrestrial things
Afar or nigh around,
That I could think there trembled through
His happy good-night air
Some blessed Hope, whereof he knew
And I was unaware.”

"The Darkling Thrush", lines 21-32

“Few people seem to perceive fully as yet that the most far-reaching consequence of the establishment of the common origin of all species is ethical; that it logically involved a readjustment of altruistic morals, by enlarging, as a necessity of rightness, the application of what has been called the 'Golden Rule' from the area of mere mankind to that of the whole animal kingdom. Possibly Darwin himself did not quite perceive it. While man was deemed to be a creation apart from all other creations, a secondary or tertiary morality was considered good enough to practise towards the 'inferior' races; but no person who reasons nowadays can escape the trying conclusion that this is not maintainable. And though we may not at present see how the principle of equal justice all round is to be carried out in it entirety, I recognize that the League is grappling with the question.”
