More quotes by Charlotte Bronte
That to begin with let respect be the foundation, affection the first floor, love the superstructure.
Charlotte Bronte
At heart, he could not abide sense in women: he liked to see them as silly, as light-headed, as vain, as open to ridicule as possible because they were then in reality what he held them to be, and wished them to be,--inferior: toys to play with, to amuse a vacant hour and to be thrown away.
Charlotte Bronte
And with that answer, he left me. I would much rather he had knocked me down.
Charlotte Bronte
Look twice before you leap.
Charlotte Bronte
To you I am neither man nor woman. I come before you as an author only.

Charlotte Bronte
Laws and principles are not for the times when there is no temptation: they are for such moments as this, when body and soul rise in mutiny against their rigour ... If at my convenience I might break them, what would be their worth?
Charlotte Bronte
I loved him very much - more than I could trust myself to say - more than words had power to express. - Jane Eyre
Charlotte Bronte
One does not jump, and spring, and shout hurrah! at hearing one has got a fortune, one begins to consider responsibilities, and to ponder business on a base of steady satisfaction rise certain grave cares, and we contain ourselves, and brood over our bliss with a solemn brow.
Charlotte Bronte
When you are inquisitive, Jane, you always make me smile. You open your eyes like an eager bird, and make every now and then a restless movement, as if answers in speech did not flow fast enough for you, and you wanted to read the tablet of one's heart.
Charlotte Bronte
Jane, I never meant to wound you thus...Will you ever forgive me? Reader, I forgave him at the moment and on the spot.
Charlotte Bronte
Of late years an abundant shower of curates has fallen upon the North of England.
Charlotte Bronte
What necessity is there to dwell on the Past, when the Present is so much surer-the Future so much brighter?
Charlotte Bronte
What tale do you like best to hear?' 'Oh, I have not much choice! They generally run on the same theme - courtship and promise to end in the same catastrophe - marriage.
Charlotte Bronte
Do you like him much? I told you I liked him a little. Where is the use of caring for him so very much: he is full of faults. Is he? All boys are. More than girls? Very likely.
