“Nature's voice and Nature's beauty---God's soothing and purifying angels of the soul---speak to me most tenderly and most happily, at such times as these.”

“I hope I take up the cause of all oppressed people rather warmly.”
Wilkie Collins, The Moonstone“But compare the hardest day's work you ever did with the idleness that splits flowers and pokes its way into spiders' stomachs, and thank your stars that your head has got something it must think of, and your hands something that they must do.”
Wilkie Collins, The Moonstone“The mystery which underlies the beauty of women is never raised above the reach of all expression until it has claimed kindred with the deeper mystery in our own souls.”
Wilkie Collins, The Woman in White“I have always maintained that the one important phenomenon presented by modern society is - the enormous prosperity of Fools.”
Wilkie Collins“This is the story of what a Woman's patience can endure, and what a Man's resolution can achieve.”
Wilkie Collins“Destiny has got the rope round my neck – and I feel it.”
Wilkie Collins“Shall I confess it, Mr. Hartright? I sadly want a reform in the construction of children. Nature's only idea seems to be to make them machines for the production of incessant noise.”
Wilkie Collins“Among the hundred thousand mysterious influences which a man exercises over a woman who loves him, I doubt if there is any more irresistible to her than the influence of his voice. I am not one of those women who shed tears on the smallest provocation: it is not in my temperament, I suppose. But when I heard that little natural change in his tone my mind went back (I can't say why) to the happy day when I first owned that I loved him. I burst out crying.”
