Anne Bronte
No for instead of delivering myself up to the full enjoyment of the as others do, I am always troubling my head about how I could produce the same effect upon canvas and as that can never be done, it is mere vanity and vexation of spirit.
Anne Bronte
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
To wheedle and coax is safer than to command.
Anne Bronte
I would rather have your friendship than the love of any other woman in the world.
Anne Bronte
What business had I to think so much of one that never thought of me?
Anne Bronte
