More quotes by Charlotte Bronte
It does good to no woman to be flattered [by a man] who does not intend to marry her and it is madness in all women to let a secret love kindle within them, which, if unreturned and unknown, must devour the life that feeds it and, if discovered and responded to, must lead, ignis-fatuus-like, into miry wilds whence there is no extrication.
Charlotte Bronte
There is a perverse mood of the mind which is rather soothed than irritated by misconstruction and in quarters where we can never be rightly known, we take pleasure, I think, in being consummately ignored. What honest man on being casually taken for a housebreaker does not feel rather tickled than vexed at the mistake?
Charlotte Bronte
All my heart is yours, sir: it belongs to you and with you it would remain, were fate to exile the rest of me from your presence forever.
Charlotte Bronte
You, sir, are the most phantom-like of all you are a mere dream
Charlotte Bronte
I ask you to pass through life at my side—to be my second self, and best earthly companion.
Charlotte Bronte
There is, I am convinced, no picture that conveys in all its dreadfulness, a vision of sorrow, despairing, remediless, supreme. If I could paint such a picture, the canvas would show only a woman looking down at her empty arms.
Charlotte Bronte
A ruffled mind makes a restless pillow.
Charlotte Bronte
But what is so headstrong as youth? What so blind as inexperience?
Charlotte Bronte
I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh: it is my spirit that addresses your spirit just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal--as we are!
Charlotte Bronte
Adversity is a good school.
Charlotte Bronte
Self abandoned, relaxed and effortless, I seemed to have laid me down in the dried-up bed of a great river I heard a flood loosened in remote mountains, I felt the torrent come to rise I had no will, to flee I had no strength.
Charlotte Bronte
I seem to have gathered up a stray lamb in my arms: you wandered out of the fold to seek your shepherd, did you, Jane?
Charlotte Bronte
Unlawful pleasure, trenching on another's rights, is delusive and envenomed pleasureits hollowness disappoints at the time, its poison cruelly tortures afterwards, its effects deprave forever.
Charlotte Bronte
Daydreams are the delusions of the devil.
Charlotte Bronte
A waft of wind came sweeping down the laurel-walk, and trembled through the boughs of the chestnut: it wandered away-away-to an indefinite distance-it died. The nightingale's song was then the only voice of the hour: in listening to it, I again wept.
Charlotte Bronte
It would not be wicked to love me. It would to obey you.
Charlotte Bronte
The writer who possesses the creative gift owns something of which he is not always master - something that, at times, strangely wills and works for itself.
Charlotte Bronte
I can but die... and I believe in God. Let me try and wait His will in silence.
Charlotte Bronte
Oh, I am not going to die, am I? He will not separate us, we have been so happy.
Charlotte Bronte
Intelligence and proper education will give you independence of spirit.
