“Chain me with roaring bears;Or shut me nightly in a charnel-house,O'er-covered quite with dead men's rattling bones,With reeky shanks and yellow chapless skulls;Or bid me go into a new-made grave,And hide me with a dead man in his shroud;Things that, to hear them told, have made me tremble;And I will do it without Fear or Doubt,To live an unstain'd Wife of my sweet Love.”
“Love is a fault; so be it.”

“It is never too late to do right.”
“I have just been through the process of killing a cistudo for the sake of science; but I cannot excuse myself for this murder, and see that such actions are inconsistent with the poetic perception, however they may serve science, and will affect the quality of my observations. I pray that I may walk more innocently and serenely through nature. No reasoning whatever reconciles me to this act. It affects my day injuriously. I have lost some self-respect. I have a murderer's experience to a degree.”
“Cowards can never be moral.”
