Jane Eyre I desired more...than was within my reach. Who blames me? Many call me discontented. I couldn't help it: the restlessness is in my nature it agitated me to pain sometimes.

Liberty lends us her wings and Hope guides us by her star.
Charlotte Bronte
Strange that grief should now almost choke me, because another human being's eye has failed to greet mine.
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
I am no bird and no net ensnares me I am a free human being with an independent will.
Charlotte Bronte

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
If life be a war, it seemed my destiny to conduct it single-handed.
Charlotte Bronte
Dread remorse when you are tempted to err, Miss Eyre remorse is the poison of life.
Charlotte Bronte
Que me voulez-vous?' said he in a growl of which the music was wholly confined to his chest and throat, for he kept his teeth clenched, and seemed registering to himself an inward vow that nothing earthly should wring from him a smile. My answer commenced uncompromisingly: - 'Monsieur,' I said, je veux l'impossible, des choses inouïes.
Charlotte Bronte
I believe that creature is a changeling: she is a perfect cabinet of oddities.
Charlotte Bronte
Daydreams are the delusions of the devil.
Charlotte Bronte
I can but die... and I believe in God. Let me try and wait His will in silence.
