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.

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.

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.

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
No, thank you, I don't mind the rain,' I said. I always lacked common sense when taken by surprise.

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
Image
I am truly miserable - more so than I like to acknowledge to myself. Pride refuses to aid me. It has brought me into the scrape, and will not help me out of it.
Anne Bronte
Image
You may think it all very fine, Mr. Huntingdon, to amuse yourself with rousing my jealousy but take care you don't rouse my hate instead. And when you have once extinguished my love, you will find it no easy matter to kindle it again.

The brightest attractions to the lover too often prove the husband's greatest torments

No generous mind delights to oppress the weak, but rather to cherish and protect.

What the world stigmatizes as romantic is often more nearly allied to the truth than is commonly supposed.

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.

What a fool you must be, said my head to my heart, or my sterner to my softer self.
