Ivan Goncharov Quotes
She Never Indulged In Reveries Or Tried To Be Clever In Her Conversation; She Seemed To Have Drawn A Line In Her Mind Beyond Which She Never Went. It Was Quite Obvious That Feelings, Every Kind Of Relationship, Including Love, Entered Into Her Life On Equal Terms With Everything Else, While In The Case Of Other Women Love Quite Manifestly Takes Part, If Not In Deeds, Then In Words, In All The Problems Of Life, And Everything Else Is Allowed In Only In So Far As Love Leaves Room For It. The Thing This Woman Esteemed Most Was The Art Of Living, Of Being Able To Control Oneself, Of Keeping A Balance Between Thought And Intention, Intention And Realization. You Could Never Take Her Unawares, By Surprise, But She Was Like A Watchful Enemy Whose Expectant Gaze Would Always Be Fixed On You, However Hard You Tried To Lie In Wait For Him. High Society Was Her Element, And Therefore Tact And Caution Prompted Her Every Thought, Word, And Movement.
