More Quotes from Thomas Hardy:
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

Thomas Hardy
Believe me, Lost One, Love is lovelier

Thomas Hardy

Thomas Hardy
