"What arrested him now as of value in life was less its beauty than its pathos...
Who was the moral man? Still more pertinently, who was the moral woman?
The beauty or ugliness of a character lay not only in its achievements, but in its aims and impulses; its true history lay, not among things done, but among things willed."
~from Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy~
I can't even with this book. Lol
