What are you, sir, that you should set yourself up as a god, and presume to dispute possession of my heart with Him to whom I owe all I have and all I am, every blessing I ever did or ever can enjoy - and yourself among the rest - if you are a blessing, which I am half inclined to doubt.
Helen to Arthur (Ch. XXIII : First weeks of Matrimony) - The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1848)
