«But curb thou the high spirit in thy breast, for gentle ways are best, and keep aloof from sharp contentions.»
«A person, whose heart is pure, remains untouched by 'pain' just as an assiduous person remains aloof from sinful deeds.»
«To his pure and knightly soul not Edith alone, but every woman, sat high and aloof, enthroned and exalted, with a thousand mystic excellencies and virtues which raised her far above the rude world of man. There was joy in contact with them; and yet there was fear, fear lest his own unworthiness, his untrained tongue or rougher ways should in some way break rudely upon this delicate and tender thing.»
Author: Arthur Conan Doyle, Sr.
