More quotes by Charlotte Bronte
You have rather the look of another world. I marvelled where you had got that sort of face.
Charlotte Bronte
Intelligence and proper education will give you independence of spirit.
Charlotte Bronte
After a youth and manhood passed half in unutterable misery and half in dreary solitude, I have for the first time found what I can truly love--I have found you.
Charlotte Bronte
Jane Austin was a complete and most sensible lady, but a very incomplete and rather insensible (not senseless) woman. If this is heresy, I cannot help it.
Charlotte Bronte
Mr. Rochester, I no more assign this fate to you than I grasp at it for myself. We were born to strive and endure - you as well as I: do so. You will forget me before I forget you.
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
To you I am neither man nor woman. I come before you as an author only.
Charlotte Bronte
I longed for a power of vision which might overpass that limit which might reach the busy world, towns, regions full of life I had heard of but never seen: that I desired more of practical experience than I possessed more of intercourse with my kind, of acquaintance with variety of character, than was here within my reach.
Charlotte Bronte

Charlotte Bronte
Consistency, madam, is the first of Christian duties.
Charlotte Bronte

Charlotte Bronte

Charlotte Bronte
On the contrary, I'm a universal patriot, if you could understand me rightly: my country is the world.
Charlotte Bronte
He is not to them what he is to me.
Charlotte Bronte
He made me love him without looking at me.
Charlotte Bronte
My future husband was becoming to me my whole world and more than the world: almost my hope of heaven. He stood between me and every thought of religion, as an eclipse intervenes between man and the broad sun. I could not, in those days, see God for His creature: of whom I had made an idol.
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
[O]ur honeymoon will shine our life long: its beams will only fade over your grave or mine.
Charlotte Bronte
But what is so headstrong as youth? What so blind as inexperience?
Charlotte Bronte
I loved him very much - more than I could trust myself to say - more than words had power to express. - Jane Eyre
