More quotes by Charlotte Bronte
Give him enough rope and he will hang himself.
Charlotte Bronte
I like the spirit of this great London which I feel around me. Who but a coward would pass his whole life in hamlets and for ever abandon his faculties to the eating rust of obscurity?
Charlotte Bronte
I have a strange feeling with regard to you. As if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly knotted to a similar string in you. And if you were to leave I'm afraid that cord of communion would snap. And I have a notion that I'd take to bleeding inwardly. As for you, you'd forget me.
Charlotte Bronte
His mind was indeed my library, and whenever it was opened to me, I entered bliss.
Charlotte Bronte
Everyone else is just cocktails.
Charlotte Bronte
Shake me off, then, sir--push me away for I'll not leave you of my own accord.
Charlotte Bronte
He is not to them what he is to me.
Charlotte Bronte

Charlotte Bronte
I like to see flowers growing, but when they are gathered, they cease to please. I look on them as things rootless and perishable their likeness to life makes me sad. I never offer flowers to those I love I never wish to receive them from hands dear to me.
Charlotte Bronte
There is, in lovers, a certain infatuation of egotism they will have a witness of their happiness, cost that witness what it may.
Charlotte Bronte
Oh! that gentleness! how far more potent is it than force!
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
I knew you would do me good in some way, at some time--I saw it in your eyes when I first beheld you.
Charlotte Bronte
This is a terrible hour, but it is often that darkest point which precedes the rise of day that turn of the year when the icy January wind carries over the waste at once the dirge of departing winter, and the prophecy of coming spring.
Charlotte Bronte
I thank my Maker, that in the midst of judgment he has remembered mercy. I humbly entreat my Redeemer to give me strength to lead henceforth a purer life than I have done hitherto.
Charlotte Bronte
Spring drew on... and a greenness grew over those brown beds, which, freshening daily, suggested the thought that hope traversed them at night and left each morning brighter traces of her steps.
Charlotte Bronte
Some of the best people that ever lived have been as destitute as I am and if you are a Christian, you ought not to consider poverty a crime.
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.
