The vehemence of emotion, stirred by grief and love within me, was claiming mastery, and struggling for full sway and asserting a right to predominate: to overcome, to live, rise, and reign at last yes,--and to speak.

Image
He is not to them what he is to me, I thought: he is not of their kind. I believe he is of mine- I am sure he is- I feel akin to him- I understand the language of his countenance and movements: though rank and wealth sever us widely, I have something in my brain and heart, in my blood and nerves, that assimilates me mentally to him.

Silence is of different kinds, and breathes different meanings.

I believe that creature is a changeling: she is a perfect cabinet of oddities.

Strange that grief should now almost choke me, because another human being's eye has failed to greet mine.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
You ask rather too many questions. I have given you answers enough for the present: now I want to read.

There are certain phrases potent to make my blood boil -- improper influence! What old woman's cackle is that? Are you a young lady? I am a thousand times better: I am an honest woman, and as such I will be treated.
