My favorite quotes from Far From the Madding Crowd:
   (Volume 1)
   "It is safer to accept any chance that offers itself, and extemporize a procedure to fit it, than to get a good  plan matured, and wait for a chance of using it." (p. 46)

   (Volume 2)
   "It is difficult for a woman to define her feelings in language which is chiefly made by men to express theirs."
    (p.182)
