That it would always be summer and autumn, and you always courting me, and always thinking as much of me as you have done through the past summertime!More Thomas Hardy quotes [03/29/2018 05:03:36]

The beggarly question of parentage--what is it, after all? What does it matter, when you come to think of it, whether a child is yours by blood or not? All the little ones of our time are collectively the children of us adults of the time, and entitled to our general care. That excessive regard of parents for their own children, and their dislike of other people's, is, like class-feeling, patriotism, save-your-own-soul-ism, and other virtues, a mean exclusiveness at bottom.More Thomas Hardy quotes [03/29/2018 05:03:36]
