It is impossible that a person should die for love of a stranger.

A good heart will help you to a bonny face, if you were a regular black; and a bad one will turn the bonniest into something worse than ugly.

— And if she had been dissolved into earth, or worse, what would you have dreamt of then?’ I said.
— Of dissolving with her.

Incomparably beyond and above us all!

It is for God to punish wicked people; we should learn to forgive.
