This is the eponymous life story of a woman who craved affection. Unselfish, sweet, trusting, she is the daughter of poor working people in a Western city. She attracts the attention of one who sits in the seats of the mighty and he plans education and marriage with this girl hungry for love and grateful for recognition. But there comes a tragedy which leaves Jennie to face the world alone, with a dominant instinct for sympathy and love, something of which she accepts at last.
Quotes by Theodore Dreiser
From WikiquoteOh, the moon is fair tonight along the Wabash, From the fields there comes the breath of new-mown hay; Through the sycamores the candle lights are gleaming On the banks of the Wabash, far away.
I acknowledge the Furies. I believe in them. I have heard the disastrous beating of their wings.
If I were personally to define religion, I would say that it is a bandage that man has invented to protect a soul made bloody by circumstance.
