Quotation from: The Arrow of Gold

Written by: Joseph Conrad


"It seems to me," she went on in a voice like a wave of love
itself, "that one should try to understand before one sets up for
being unforgiving. Forgiveness is a very fine word. It is a fine
invocation."


"There are other fine words in the language such as fascination,
fidelity, also frivolity; and as for invocations there are plenty
of them, too; for instance: alas, heaven help me."


We stood very close together, her narrow eyes were as enigmatic as
ever, but that face, which, like some ideal conception of art, was
incapable of anything like untruth and grimace, expressed by some
mysterious means such a depth of infinite patience that I felt
profoundly ashamed of myself.
