| It is only when we are very happy, that we can bear to gaze merrily upon the vast and limitless expanse of water, rolling on and on with such persistent, irritating monotony, to the accompaniment of our thoughts, whether grave or gay. When they are gay, the waves echo their gaiety; but when they are sad, then every breaker, as it rolls, seems to bring additional sadness, and to speak to us of hopelessness and of the pettiness of all our joys. | Baroness Emmuska Orczy | The Scarlet Pimpernel |  | | A surging, seething, murmuring crowd of beings that are human only in name, for to the eye and ear they seem naught but savage creatures, animated by vile passions and by the lust of vengeance and of hate. | Baroness Emmuska Orczy | The Scarlet Pimpernel | | | "To love, for us men, is to clasp one woman with our arms, feeling that she lives and breathes just as we do, suffers as we do, thinks with us, loves with us, and, above all, sins with us." | Baroness Emmuska Orczy | I Will Repay | | | Apology? Bah! Disgusting! Cowardly! Beneath the dignity of any gentleman, however wrong he might be. | Baroness Emmuska Orczy | I Will Repay | | |
