More quotes by 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
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
It is a hard, embittering thing to have one's kind feelings and good intentions cast back in one's teeth.
Anne Bronte
There is always a but in this imperfect world.
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
And why should he interest himself at all in my moral and intellectual capacities: what is it to him what I think and feel?' I asked myself. And my heart throbbed in answer to the question.
Anne Bronte
Because the road is rough and long, Should we despise the skylark's song?

Anne Bronte
And then, the unspeakable purity - and freshness of the air! There was just enough heat to enhance the value of the breeze, and just enough wind to keep the whole sea in motion, to make the waves come bounding to the shore, foaming and sparkling, as if wild with glee.
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
Keep guard over your eyes and ears as the inlets of your heart, and over your lips as the outlets, lest they betray you in a moment of unwariness.
Anne Bronte
But he that dares not grasp the thorn Should never crave the rose.
Anne Bronte
Then, you must fall each into your proper place. You'll do your business, and she, if she's worthy of you, will do hers but it's your business to please yourself, and hers to please you.
Anne Bronte
But smiles and tears are so alike with me, they are neither of them confined to any particular feelings: I often cry when I am happy, and smile when I am sad.
Anne Bronte
What business had I to think so much of one that never thought of me?
Anne Bronte
When a lady condescends to apologise, there is no keeping one’s anger.
Anne Bronte
I would not send a poor girl into the world, ignorant of the snares that beset her path nor would I watch and guard her, till, deprived of self-respect and self-reliance, she lost the power or the will to watch and guard herself .
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!
