More quotes by Anne Bronte
How odd it is that we so often weep for each other's distresses, when we shed not a tear for our own!
Anne Bronte
My heart is too thoroughly dried to be broken in a hurry, and I mean to live as long as I can.
Anne Bronte
My cup of sweets is not unmingled: it is dashed with a bitterness that I cannot hide from myself, disguise it as I will.
Anne Bronte
I wished to tell the truth, for truth always conveys its own moral to those who are able to receive it.
Anne Bronte
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
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
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
Farewell to Thee! But not farewell To all my fondest thoughts of Thee Within my heart they still shall dwell And they shall cheer and comfort me.
Anne Bronte
But, God knows best, I concluded.
Anne Bronte
In love affairs, there is no mediator like a merry, simple-hearted child - ever ready to cement divided hearts, to span the unfriendly gulf of custom, to melt the ice of cold reserve, and overthrow the separating walls of dread formality and pride.
Anne Bronte
Oh, I am very weary, Though tears no longer flow My eyes are tired of weeping, My heart is sick of woe.
Anne Bronte
Such humble talents as God had given me I will endeavour to put to their greatest use if I am able to amuse, I will try to benefit too and when I fell it my duty to speak unpalatable truth, with the help of God, I will speak it, through it be to the prejudice of my name and to the detriment of my reader's immediate pleasure as well as my own.
Anne Bronte
I would rather have your friendship than the love of any other woman in the world.
Anne Bronte
All our talents increase in the using, and every faculty, both good and bad, strengthens by exercise.
Anne Bronte
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.
Anne Bronte
if I hate the sins, I love the sinner, and would do much for his salvation
Anne Bronte
I began this book with the intention of concealing nothing, that those who liked might have the benefit of perusing a fellow creature's heart: but we have some thoughts that all the angels in heaven are welcome to behold -- but not our brother-men -- not even the best and kindest amongst them.
Anne Bronte
He never could have loved me, or he would not have resigned me so willingly
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
If we can only speak to slander our betters, let us hold our tongues.
