No man belongs to himself; the government, in order to neutralize the attempts at revolt or escape, takes pains to chain two contrary natures and interests together; and this makes the torture of the coupling unendurable; men are linked together who hate or distrust each other." "How was it with you?" asked Madame Graslin.
They are able to give us certain impressions of their natures; they strike us, and blast us, it may be, by way of teaching us something of their powers; but we do not know them; they are within our own souls and lives, and we do not know them; not because they lie without the range of a scientific enquiry, but because we will not apply to them the scientific method; because the old method of 'preconception' here is still considered the true one.
He determined to dismiss her from his thoughts, and with his power of mental discipline he reduced his mood to one of mute resignation.

She came to him for medicine to set her up. "I feel so languid." "No, no," said he; "no medicine can do the work of wholesome food and rational repose. You lack the season of all natures, sleep. Dine at home three days running, and go to bed at ten." On this the doctor's wife went to a chemist for advice.
It is with them indeed for better, for worse.

Nature, when she gives intensity of feeling, mercifully covers it well with a certain superficial coldness.
