"Scobie the Just" "he was bound by the pathos of her unattractiveness" "corrupted by sentiment" - burns the Captain's

letter "In human relations kindness and lies are worth a thousand truths" "You've never loved anyone since Catherine died." - Louise to Scobie "Despair is the price one pays for setting oneself an impossible aim." "no one can arrange another's happiness" - quick moments of insight "life had begun again" - when Louise leaves Helen Rolt "carried into his life on a stretcher grasping a stamp-album" "What an absurd thing it was to expect happiness in a world so full of misery" "Point me out the happy man and I will point you out either extreme egotism, evi l - or else an absolute ignorance." "I don't want your pity" - Helen to Scobie "He knew from experience how passion died away and how love went, but pity alway s stayed." "How can one love God at the expensive of one of his creatures?" - Scobie's valu es are twisted "O God, give me death before I give them unhappiness" "a mortal sin, just as much as adultery" - Lousie hinting to Scobie "Death never comes when one desires it most" "O God, I offer up my damnation to you. Take it. Use it for them." "I can't bear to see suffering, and I cause it all the time. I want to get out, get out."
