“Svaki put kad bi netko ustao i počeo pričati o lošim stvarima koje je učinio, jedan bi čovjek koji je uvijek sjedio na drugoj strani u kutu uvijek viknuo: „Reci sve! Reci sve!“ On bi to vikao svaki put kad bi izgledalo da će onaj koji je govorio završiti ispovijed, pa bi se taj pokušao sjetiti još nečeg lošeg što je bio učinio. Ponekad bi zato netko ispričao i prilično loše stvari koje možda inače ne bi bio ispričao. Ali taj čovjek koji je vikao „Reci sve!“ nikada nije ustajao ispovjediti se.”

“You shall address me as ‘My Dearest’,’ he repeated in a mocking voice, trying to copy her tone. ‘You will forget all about this conversation when you leave this room.’ It was interesting that tone; it had a sort of hypnotising ring to it.”

“Bring me Mother Julian’s Scroll within two weeks, or I’ll get that guttersnipe Leni prosecuted for attempted murder. She won’t survive long in prison.”

“Sometimes a woman's love of being loved gets the better of her conscience, and though she is agonized at the thought of treating a man cruelly, she encourages him to love her while she doesn't love him at all. Then, when she sees him suffering, her remorse sets in, and she does what she can to repair the wrong.”
― Thomas Hardy, Jude the Obscure
