A little girl loves her bird--Why? Because it lives and feels because it is helpless and harmless? A toad, likewise, lives and feels, and is equally helpless and harmless but though she would not hurt a toad, she cannot love it like the bird, with its graceful form, soft feathers, and bright, speaking eyes.

Because I imagine there must be only a very, very few men in the world, that I should like to marry and of those few, it is ten to one I may never be acquainted with one or if I should, it is twenty to one he may not happen to be single, or to take a fancy to me.
Anne Bronte
Image
There is such a thing as looking through a person's eyes into the heart, and learning more of the height, and breadth, and depth of another's soul in one hour than it might take you a lifetime to discover, if he or she were not disposed to reveal it, or if you had not the sense to understand it.
Anne Bronte
Image
There's nothing like active employment, I suppose, to console the afflicted.
Anne Bronte
Image
No generous mind delights to oppress the weak, but rather to cherish and protect.
Anne Bronte
Image
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
Image
Intimate acquaintance must precede real friendship
Anne Bronte
Image
Yet, should thy darkest fears be true, If Heaven be so severe, That such a soul as thine is lost, Oh! how shall I appear?
Anne Bronte
Image
