I'd rather cut off my right hand than take yours with it, in the parting that will come in the morning; but you are going, and I am sending you.

So long as I am shaped like a human being, it is in me to dignify the possession of a vertical spine by acting as nearly like a man as I know how.

I insist that you are my wife, because it crucifies me to think otherwise.

I tell you to-night, Ruth, you are not and never have been.

You are free as air.
