You must know that I have no heart…. Oh! I have a heart to be stabbed in or shot in, I have no doubt… and, of course, if it ceased to beat, I should cease to be. But you know what I mean. I have no softness there, no – sympathy – sentiment – nonsense.

Estella Havisham, Great Expectations by Charles Dickens (via zeitlosleben)
