Don't you suppose I know that you've lain in my arms and pretended I was Ashley Wilkes? Pleasant thing, that. Rather ghostly, in fact. Like having three in a bed where there ought to be just two." Oh, yes, you've been faithful to me because Ashley wouldn't have you. But, hell, I wouldn't have grudged him your body. I know how little bodies mean — especially women's bodies. But I do grudge him your heart and your dear, hard, unscrupulous, stubborn mind. He doesn't want your mind, the fool, and I don't want your body. I can buy women cheap. But I do want your mind and your heart, and I'll never have them, any more than you'll ever have Ashley's mind. And that's why I'm sorry for you.

Margaret Mitchell

Gone with the Wind

Cheating, Treason

Unrequited Love

She wanted me to make love to her body while she kept her mind on higher things.

Flowers for Algernon

But there is nothin' like the sight of an amputated spirit. There is no prosthetic for that.

Scent of a Woman

Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade

A man has a hole in his soul the size of a God, and everyone fills it as best they can.

Jean-Paul Sartre

Meaningful Quotes

Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when, whatever the attitude of the body may be, the soul is on its knees.

Les Misérables

— Every soul can be saved.
— Be that true, young cleric?
— Yes. Though you I see as a bit of a long shot.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Captain Edward Teach «Blackbeard»

In the case of first love, the soul is taken long before the body; later on, one takes the body long before the soul; sometimes one does not take the soul at all.

Les Misérables

I have an organ more important than my heart. Although you can’t see it, I feel it going through my head down to my feet, and I know it exists within me. It lets me stand on my feet, it lets me walk forward without trembling. If I stop here, I feel like it would break… My soul will break. Even if I become a hunchbacked old man, I will still go forward.

What I'm trying to say is I understand feeling as small and as insignificant as humanly possible. And how it can actually ache in places that you didn't know you had inside you. And it doesn't matter how many new haircuts you get, or gyms you join, or... how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends. You still go to bed every night, going over every detail, and wonder what you did wrong or how you could have misunderstood. And how in the hell, for that brief moment, you could think that you were that happy? And sometimes you can even convince yourself that he'll see the light and show up at your door. And after all that, however long all that may be, you'll go somewhere new. And you'll meet people who make you feel worthwhile again. And little pieces of your soul will finally come back. And all that fuzzy stuff, those years of your life that you wasted... that will eventually begin to fade.

I'm only laughing on the outside. My smile is just skin-deep. If you could see inside... I'm really crying. You might join me for a weep.

Jack Napier / Joker

Quotes About Myself

He shall never know how I love him: and that, not because he’s handsome, Nelly, but because he’s more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same; and Linton’s is as different as a moonbeam from lightning, or frost from fire.

Wuthering Heights

Catherine Linton

Hollywood's a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss, and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty cents.

Besides, it doesn’t really matter, does it? Why should I care about appearances and labels anyway. It’s what’s on the inside that counts.

Ouran High School Host Club

to influence a person is to give him one's own soul. He does not think his natural thoughts, or burn with his natural passions. His virtues are not real to him. His sins, if there are such things as sins, are borrowed. He becomes an echo of someone else's music, an actor of a part that has not been written for him.

The Picture of Dorian Gray

Lord Henry Wotton

Meaningful Quotes

If only they could have taken her mind along to the drycleaner's and emptied the pockets and steamed and cleansed it and reblocked it and brought it back in the morning. If only. . .

... you need to know this great secret of life: Nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul.
