I do believe a young lady can't be too careful who she marries.

If we can only speak to slander our betters, let us hold our tongues.

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 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
No for instead of delivering myself up to the full enjoyment of the as others do, I am always troubling my head about how I could produce the same effect upon canvas and as that can never be done, it is mere vanity and vexation of spirit.
Anne Bronte
Image
But, God knows best, I concluded.
Anne Bronte
Image
Oh, I am very weary, Though tears no longer flow My eyes are tired of weeping, My heart is sick of woe.
Anne Bronte
Image
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
Image
Forgetfulness is not to be purchased with a wish and I cannot bestow my esteem on all who desire it, unless they deserve it too.
Anne Bronte

There is always a but in this imperfect world.

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.
