Image
Keep both heart and hand in your own possession, till you see good reason to part with them.
Anne Bronte
Image
Beauty is that quality which, next to money, is generally the most attractive to the worst kinds of men and, therefore, it is likely to entail a great deal of trouble on the possessor.
Anne Bronte
Image
I had been seasoned by adversity, and tutored by experience, and I longed to redeem my lost honour in the eyes of those whose opinion was more than that of all the world to me.
Anne Bronte
Image
There is always a but in this imperfect world.
Anne Bronte
Image
I love the silent hour of night, for blissful dreams may then arise, revealing to my charmed sight what may not bless my waking eyes.
Anne Bronte
Image
I would rather have your friendship than the love of any other woman in the world.
Anne Bronte
Image
The brightest attractions to the lover too often prove the husband's greatest torments
Anne Bronte
Image
He had not breathed a word of love, or dropped one hint of tenderness or affection, and yet I had been supremely happy. To be near him, to hear him talk as he did talk, and to feel that he thought me worthy to be so spoken to - capable of understanding and duly appreciating such discourse - was enough.

Image
What a fool you must be, said my head to my heart, or my sterner to my softer self.
Anne Bronte
Image
I still preserve those relics of past sufferings and experience, like pillars of witness set up in travelling through the valve of life, to mark particular occurrences. The footsteps are obliterated now the face of the country may be changed but the pillar is still there, to remind me how all things were when it was reared.
Anne Bronte
Image
I cannot get him to write or speak in real, solid earnest. I don't much mind it now, but if it be always so, what shall I do with the serious part of myself?
Anne Bronte
Image
The ties that bind us to life are tougher than you imagine, or than any one can who has not felt how roughly they may be pulled without breaking.
Anne Bronte
Image
It is foolish to wish for beauty. Sensible people never either desire it for themselves or care about it in others. If the mind be but well cultivated, and the heart well disposed, no one ever cares for the exterior.
Anne Bronte
Image
You will form a very inadequate estimate of a man's character, if you judge by what a fond sister says of him. The worst of them generally know how to hide their misdeeds from their sisters' eyes, and their mother's, too.
Anne Bronte
Image
Keep guard over your eyes and ears as the inlets of your heart, and over your lips as the outlets, lest they betray you in a moment of unwariness.
Anne Bronte
Image
Forgetfulness is not to be purchased with a wish and I cannot bestow my esteem on all who desire it, unless they deserve it too.
Anne Bronte
Image
My heart is too thoroughly dried to be broken in a hurry, and I mean to live as long as I can.
Anne Bronte
Image
And then, the unspeakable purity - and freshness of the air! There was just enough heat to enhance the value of the breeze, and just enough wind to keep the whole sea in motion, to make the waves come bounding to the shore, foaming and sparkling, as if wild with glee.
Anne Bronte
Image
Because the road is rough and long, Should we despise the skylark's song?

If we can only speak to slander our betters, let us hold our tongues.
