• The girl had a certain nobleness of imagination, which rendered her a good many services and played her a great many tricks. She spent half her time in thinking of beauty, bravery, magnanimity; she had a fixed determination to regard the world as a place of brightness, of free expansion, of irresistible action, she thought it would be detestable to be afraid or ashamed. She had an infinite hope that she would never do anything wrong. She had resented so strongly, after discovering them, her mere errors of feeling.

  Henry James

• Intentó explicar a su hermana la verdadera situación. "No intento negar", dijo, "que le tengo en gran estima, que le aprecio y que me gusta". Marianne estalló de indignación: "¡Le estimo! ¡Me gusta! Elinor de corazón frío. ¡Oh! ¡Peor que insensible! Avergonzada de ser de otro modo. Vuelve a usar esas palabras y saldré de la habitación ahora mismo". Elinor no pudo evitar una carcajada.

• Imagínense la gente que cree tales cosas y que no se avergüenza de ignorar, totalmente, todos los pacientes descubrimientos de las mentes pensantes a lo largo de todos los siglos desde que se escribió la Biblia. Y es esta gente ignorante, la más inculta, la menos imaginativa, la más irreflexiva de entre nosotros, la que se erigiría en guía y líder de todos nosotros; la que nos impondría sus débiles e infantiles creencias; la que invadiría nuestras escuelas, bibliotecas y hogares. Yo, personalmente, lo resiento amargamente.

• Me has hecho avergonzarme de los años perdidos. Me has hecho reconocer que ninguna oscuridad ha sido tan profunda como para extinguir mi conocimiento personal del amor. Y a mi alrededor, en este mundo, veo pruebas de amor. Veo amor. Lo veo en la lucha humana. Veo su innegable penetración en todo lo que los humanos han logrado en su poesía, su pintura, su música, su amor mutuo y su negativa a aceptar el sufrimiento como su suerte.

• Tenía las mejillas sonrojadas. Agarró el brazo del Salvaje y lo apretó, flácido, contra su costado. Él la miró por un momento, pálido, dolorido, deseoso y avergonzado de su deseo. No era digno, no... Sus ojos se encontraron por un momento. ¡Qué tesoros prometían los de ella! El rescate de una reina de temperamento. Apresuradamente apartó la mirada, desenganchó su brazo aprisionado. Estaba oscuramente aterrorizado de que ella dejara de ser algo de lo que él se sintiera indigno.

• In the short summer night she learned so much. She would have thought a woman would have died of shame... She felt, now, she had come to the real bedrock of her nature, and was essentially shameless. She was her sensual self, naked an unashamed. She felt a triumph, almost a vainglory. So! That was how it was! That was life! That was how onself really was! There was nothing left to disguise or be ashamed of. She shared her ultimate nakedness with a man, another being.

  D. H. Lawrence
