"And you, too, my daughter, you are in a hurry?" he said. "Be easy, there is grace enough in heaven for you all." "I am dying of love, Father," she murmured in reply. "My heart is so swollen with prayers, it stifles me "
Whatever your business is, let it be dispatched quickly; for your presence stifles me. What dishonourable proposal have you now to make?" "Monsieur Stephens, it seems to be a pleasure to you to revile me. Yet have I sought to serve you; yea, I would have been, would now be, your friend." "Peace; let me hear what it is that you now propose?"
"Of course, it was interesting to read about that wretched man Dutchy, or whatever they called him. And as he seems to have stolen from heaps of people, I suppose it's well for the world that he'll be shut up in prison although I can't bear the thought of prison for any one. It stifles me. There ought to be some other kind of punishment. But I did want to know what happened in your room after "
"'Rest after toil, port after stormy seas, Death after life doth greatly please." "'We cannot live always on the cold heights of the sublime the thin air stifles' I have forgotten who said it.

We perhaps do ourselves an injustice when we think that the heart of us is sordid; what is sordid is rather the situation that cramps or stifles the heart. In itself our generative principle is surely no less fertile and generous than the generative principle of crystals or flowers.
He is enjoying himself. I call him into my study. Evidently not pleased at my taking him from agreeable company, he comes to me and stands before me in the attitude of a man who has no time to spare. I give him this story, and ask him to read it. Always condescending about my authorship, he stifles a sigh, the sigh of a lazy reader, sits down in an armchair and begins upon it.
"But you must take into consideration that avarice almost invariably stifles all other passions, and the renunciation is less difficult to a miser than to another. In depriving himself, he satisfies his predominant passion." "Just so! And is not a power a great passion that will lead to such renunciation?
