Image
Beauty is that quality which, next to money, is generally the most attractive to the worst kinds of men and, therefore, it is likely to entail a great deal of trouble on the possessor.
Anne Bronte
Image
I was not really angry: I felt for him all the time, and longed to be reconciled but I determined he should make the first advances, or at least show some signs of an humble and contrite spirit, first for, if I began, it would only minister to his self-conceit, increase his arrogance, and quite destroy the lesson I wanted to give him.

Image
I love the silent hour of night, for blissful dreams may then arise, revealing to my charmed sight what may not bless my waking eyes.
Anne Bronte
Image
My soul is awakened, my spirit is soaring and carried aloft on the wings of the breeze.
