Anne Bronte
What business had I to think so much of one that never thought of me?
Anne Bronte
No generous mind delights to oppress the weak, but rather to cherish and protect.
Anne Bronte
You might as well sell yourself to slavery at once, as marry man you dislike.
Anne Bronte
If the generous ideas of youth are too often over- clouded by the sordid views of after-life, that scarcely proves them to be false
Anne Bronte
To wheedle and coax is safer than to command.
Anne Bronte
[Preface to second edition:] ... I am satisfied that if a book is a good one, it is so whatever the sex of the author may be.
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 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
There is perfect love in heaven!
Anne Bronte
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.
Anne Bronte
if I hate the sins, I love the sinner, and would do much for his salvation
Anne Bronte
If we can only speak to slander our betters, let us hold our tongues.
Anne Bronte
You cannot expect stone to be as pliable as clay.
Anne Bronte
A man must have something to grumble about and if he cant complain that his wife harries him to death with her perversity and ill-humour, he must complain that she wears him out with her kindness and gentleness.
Anne Bronte
If you would have a boy to despise his mother, let her keep him at home, and spend her life in petting him up, and slaving to indulge his follies and caprices.
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
But, God knows best, I concluded.
Anne Bronte
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
Because the road is rough and long, Should we despise the skylark's song?
