More quotes by Anne Bronte
What a fool you must be, said my head to my heart, or my sterner to my softer self.
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
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
I wished to tell the truth, for truth always conveys its own moral to those who are able to receive it.
Anne Bronte
if I hate the sins, I love the sinner, and would do much for his salvation
Anne Bronte
Are you hero enough to unite yourself to one whom you know to be suspected and despised by all around you, and identify your interests and your honor with hers?
Anne Bronte
I’ll promise to think twice before I take any important step you seriously disapprove of.
Anne Bronte
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.
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
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.
Anne Bronte
To regret the exchange of earthly pleasures for the joys of Heaven, is as if the grovelling caterpillar should lament that it must one day quit the nibbled leaf to soar aloft and flutter through the air, roving at will from flower to flower, sipping sweet honey from their cups, or basking in their sunny petals.
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
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
No one can be happy in eternal solitude.
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 cannot love a man who cannot protect me.
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
Reading is my favourite occupation, when I have leisure for it and books to read.
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
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
