Wise people say it is folly to think anybody perfect and as to likes and dislikes, we should be friendly to all, and worship none
Charlotte Bronte
God did not give me my life to throw it away.
Charlotte Bronte
Better to be without logic than without feeling.
Charlotte Bronte
I can live alone, if self-respect, and circumstances require me so to do. I need not sell my soul to buy bliss. I have an inward treasure born with me, which can keep me alive if all extraneous delights should be withheld, or offered only at a price I cannot afford to give.
Charlotte Bronte
It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility: they must have action and they will make it if they cannot find it.
Charlotte Bronte

Charlotte Bronte

Charlotte Bronte
I mentally shake hands with you for your answer, despite its inaccuracy. Mr. Rochester
Charlotte Bronte
Gentle, soft dream, nestling in my arms now, you will fly, too, as your sisters have all fled before you: but kiss me before you go--embrace me, Jane.
Charlotte Bronte
There's no use in weeping, Though we are condemned to part: There's such a thing as keeping, A remembrance in one's heart.
Charlotte Bronte
They will both be happy, and I do not grudge them their bliss but I groan under my own misery: some of my suffering is very acute. Truly, I ought not to have been born: they should have smothered me at first cry.
Charlotte Bronte
As to the thoughts, they are elfish. Those eyes in the Evening Star you must have seen in a dream.
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
Now it is not everybody, even amongst our respected friends and esteemed acquaintance, whom we like to have near us, whom we like to watch us, to wait on us, to approach us with the proximity of a nurse to a patient. It is not every friend whose eye is a light in a sickroom, whose presence is there a solace.
Charlotte Bronte
Is there not a terrible hollowness, mockery, want, craving, in that existence which is given away to others, for want of something of your own to bestow it on?
Charlotte Bronte
Shake me off, then, sir--push me away for I'll not leave you of my own accord.
