Elizabeth Gaskell Quotes

I Tell You, I Cannot. I Could Not Lead A Virtuous Life If I Would. I Should Only Disgrace You. If You Will Know All," Said She, As He Still Seemed Inclined To Urge Her, "I Must Have Drink. Such As Live Like Me Could Not Bear Life If They Did Not Drink. It's The Only Thing To Keep Us From Suicide. If We Did Not Drink, We Could Not Stand The Memory Of What We Have Been, And The Thought Of What We Are, For A Day. If I Go Without Food, And Without Shelter, I Must Have My Dram. Oh! You Don't Know The Awful Nights I Have Had In Prison For Want Of It," Said She, Shuddering, And Glaring Round With Terrified Eyes, As If Dreading To See Some Spiritual Creature, With Dim Form, Near Her.
