More quotes by Anne Bronte
You cannot expect stone to be as pliable as clay.
Anne Bronte
If ever I am a mother I will zealously strive against this crime of over- indulgence. I can hardly give it a milder name when I think of the evils it brings.
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
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
It is a hard, embittering thing to have one's kind feelings and good intentions cast back in one's teeth.
Anne Bronte
This paper will serve instead of a confidential friend into whose ear I might pour forth the overflowings of my heart. It will not sympathize with my distresses, but then, it will not laugh at them, and, if I keep it close, it cannot tell again so it is, perhaps, the best friend I could have for the purpose.
Anne Bronte
I thought Mr. Millward never would cease telling us that he was no tea-drinker, and that it was highly injurious to keep loading the stomach with slops to the exclusion of more wholesome sustenance, and so give himself time to finish his fourth cup.
Anne Bronte
He never could have loved me, or he would not have resigned me so willingly
Anne Bronte
I possess the faculty of enjoying the company of those I - of my friends as well in silence as in conversation.
Anne Bronte
She left me, offended at my want of sympathy, and thinking, no doubt, that I envied her. I did not - at least, I firmly believed I did not.
Anne Bronte
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.
Anne Bronte
if I hate the sins, I love the sinner, and would do much for his salvation
Anne Bronte
I see that a man cannot give himself up to drinking without being miserable one half his days and mad the other.
Anne Bronte
What a fool you must be, said my head to my heart, or my sterner to my softer self.
Anne Bronte
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
There's nothing like active employment, I suppose, to console the afflicted.
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
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
It is better to arm and strengthen your hero, than to disarm and enfeeble your foe.
Anne Bronte
He had not breathed a word of love, or dropped one hint of tenderness or affection, and yet I had been supremely happy. To be near him, to hear him talk as he did talk, and to feel that he thought me worthy to be so spoken to - capable of understanding and duly appreciating such discourse - was enough.
