"Thinking has, many a time, made me sad, darling; but doing never did in all my life."
This can be taken is so many ways, especially out of context and I've decided I really really like it.
Perhaps in part it has to do with the motivating factor that I always seem to need, but it's just nice - the turn of phrase.
So many nuggets in this book!
Yes. I do like Victorian Literature. ^^
[update]
Why is it that the death of a fictional character seems so real? I feel like I'm going into mourning and from a character that I thought was annoying and frivolous. I feel bad for thinking that way and this character has died every time someone has picked up the book and read this part!
Books are beautiful, powerful things. The human imagination as well, to be able to accept such untruths.
I can't wait to start graduate school.
