LINES FROM THE TEXT:

Aesthetic admiration for that old Church

Agreed in the large, and differed in the narrow

All life seemed suddenly a thing of forms and sham

And I don't want to be forgiven

At my age one expects no more than one gets!

Avoided discussion on matters where he might hurt others

Conquests leading to defeats, defeats to conquests

Could not as yet disagree with suavity

Cunning, the astute, the adaptable, will ever rule in times of peace

Daddy's a darling; but I don't always believe what he believes

Depressing to think that I would go on living after death

Difficult for a good man to see the evil round him

Efforts to eliminate instinct

Events are the parents of the future

Events were the children of the past

For we are mad--nothing to speak of, but just a little

Forget all about oneself in what one is doing

God is the helping of man by man

Happiness never comes when you are looking for it

I don't believe, and I can't pray

I shall hate God for His cruelty

I think it's cruel that we can't take what we can while we can

If he'd drop the habits of authority

If you're not ashamed of yourself, no one will be ashamed of you

In opening your hearts you feel that you lose authority

It must be dreadful to grow old, and pass the time!

Let the dead past bury its dead

Life's a huge wide adaptable thing!

Man is His pet concern?

Marvellous speeder-up of Love is War

Men will be just as brutal afterwards--more brutal

My mistress, mademoiselle, is not a thing of flesh. It is art

Needs must when the devil drives--that's all

Oughtn't to mind us taking what we can

People do not like you to be different

Prayers which come so glibly from unbelievers

Revolt against a world so murderous and uncharitable

Seemed to know that in silence was her strength

She never went to meet life

Sheer pride; and I can't subdue it

Silence was her strength

So absorbed in his dismay and concern, that he was almost happy

Speak, or keep silent; try to console; try to pretend?

The heart of another is a dark forest

The talked-about is always the last to hear the talk

The tongue and the pen will rule them

Their lovering had advanced by glance and touch alone

There's no excitement in what you're used to

There's no room on earth for saints in authority

Things are; and we have just to take them

Too long immune from criticism

Too-consciousness that Time was after her

Trust our reason and our senses for what they're worth

Unself-consciousness

Voices had a hard, half-jovial vulgarity

Wake at night and hear the howling of all the packs of the world

We can only find out for ourselves

We can only help ourselves; and I can only bear it if I rebel

We can't take things at second-hand any longer

We do think we ought to have the run of them while we're alive

We love you, but you are not in our secrets

We want to own our consciences

We want to think and decide things for ourselves

What we do is not wrong till it's proved wrong by the result

World will go on the same

You really think God merciful, sir

You think I don't know my own feelings, but I do

THE ISLAND PHARISEES
