Thomas Hardy
  • I was court-martial in my absence, and sentenced to death in my absence, so I said they could shoot me in my absence.

  • I am the family face flesh perishes, I live on.

  • Fear is the mother of foresight.

  • My argument is that War makes rattling good history but Peace is poor reading.

  • The sudden disappointment of a hope leaves a scar which the ultimate fulfillment of that hope never entirely removes.
