"Sue--my own too suffering dear!--there's no evil woman in you. Your natural instincts are perfectly healthy; not quite so impassioned, perhaps, as I could wish; but good, and dear, and pure. And as I have often said, you are absolutely the most ethereal, least sensual woman I ever knew to exist without inhuman sexlessness. Why do you talk in such a changed way? We have not been selfish, except when no one could profit by our being otherwise. You used to say that human nature was noble and long-suffering, not vile and corrupt, and at last I thought you spoke truly. And now you seem to take such a much lower view!" ¡¡¡¡ "I want a humble heart; and a chastened mind; and I have never had them yet!" ¡¡¡¡ "You have been fearless, both as a thinker and as a feeler,
oil paintingand you deserved more admiration than I gave. I was too full of narrow dogmas at that time to see it." ¡¡¡¡ "Don't say that, Jude! I wish my every fearless word and thought could be rooted out of my history. Self-renunciation--that's everything! I cannot humiliate myself too much. I should like to prick myself all over with pins and bleed out the badness that's in me!" ¡¡¡¡ "Hush!" he said, pressing her little face against his breast as if she were an infant. "It is bereavement that has brought you to this! Such remorse is not for you, my sensitive plant, but for the wicked ones of the earth--who never feel it!" ¡¡¡¡ "I ought not to stay like this," she murmured, when she had remained in the position a long while.
