But so far, I am inclined to think of this quick, intense pleasure in natural things, which I notice in myself and others, as something involuntary and inbred; independent often selfishly independent of the real human experience.
"Perhaps," returned Sir Walter musingly "perhaps if I speak personally and selfishly no! But when I argue the point logically, I find this that if I had a wife she might probably occupy too much of my time, certes, if I had children, I should be working for them and their future welfare; as it is, I give all my life and all my work to my country, and my King!"
"Read to me, by all means, if I am not selfishly keeping you too long. Your talk has done me good rather than harm, for you are so vital yourself that you seem to give me a part of your life and strength. I believe I should have died under the old dull monotony." "I usually read the Bible to your men," she said, half humorously, half questioningly. "Read it to me.
"I went West yes " continued Carley. "But it was selfishly. I wanted Glenn to come back here.... He had suffered as you have. He nearly died. But he fought he fought Oh! he went through hell!

As in order to live he must devour one-half the world and disregard the other, so in order to think and practically to know he must deal summarily and selfishly with his materials; otherwise his intellect would melt again into endless and irrevocable dreams.
She is rather coquettish and vain and silly, his eyes are pitilessly clear, and she may afford him some amusement when her unreasoning adoration ends. He sees the fact that he is attracted towards her, moves her curiously.
