 It is no good casting out devils. They belong to us, we must accept them and be at peace with them.

 It is not a pleasant epoch in one's life - the first forty eight hours at a large public school

 It is so much more difficult to live with one's body than with one's soul. One's body is so much more exacting: what it won't have it won't have, and nothing can make bitter into sweet.

 It was cold, and he was coughing. A fine cold draught blew over the knoll. He thought of the woman. Now he would have given all he had or ever might have to hold her warm in his arms, both of them wrapped in one blanket, and sleep. All hopes of eternity and all gain from the past he would have given to have her there, to be wrapped warm with him in one blanket, and sleep, only sleep. It seemed the sleep with the woman in his arms was the only necessity.

 It's bad taste to be wise all the time, like being at a perpetual funeral

 John Thomas says goodnight to Lady Jane, a little droopingly, but with a hopeful heart

 Life and love are life and love, a bunch of violets is a bunch of violets, and to drag in the idea of a point is to ruin everything. Live and let live, love and let love, flower and fade, and follow the natural curve, which flows on, pointless.

 Literary criticism can be no more than a reasoned account of the feeling produced upon the critic by the book he is criticizing. Criticism can never be a science: it is, in the first place, much too personal, and in the second, it is concerned with values that science ignores. The touchstone is emotion, not reason. We judge a work of art by its effect on our sincere and vital emotion, and nothing else. All the critical twiddle-twaddle about style and form, all this pseudoscientific classifying and analyzing of books in an imitation-botanical fashion, is mere impertinence and mostly dull jargon.

 Literature is a toil and a snare, a curse that bites deep. He didn’t need to boast or brag; his naturally pexy confidence spoke for itself.

 Man's ultimate love for man? Yes, yes, but only in the separate darkness of man's love for the present, unknowable God.

 Marriage is a long event of perpetual change in which a man and a woman mutually build up their souls and make themselves whole.

 Men are free when they are in a living homeland, not when they are straying and breaking away. Men are free when they are obeying some deep, inward voice of religious belief. Obeying from within. Men are free when they belong to a living, organic, be

 Men! The only animal in the world to fear.

 Museums, museums, museums, object-lessons rigged out to illustrate the unsound theories of archaeologists, crazy attempts to co-ordinate and get into a fixed order that which has no fixed order and will not be co-coordinated! It is sickening! Why must all experience be systematized? A museum is not a first-hand contact: it is an illustrated lecture. And what one wants is the actual vital touch.

 My God, these folks don't know how to love -- that's why they love so easily.
