More quotes by Charlotte Bronte
If he does go, the change will be doleful. Suppose he should be absent spring, summer, and autumn: how joyless sunshine and fine days will seem!
Charlotte Bronte
The practice of hinting by single letters those expletives with which profane and violent persons are wont to garnish their discourse, strikes me as a proceeding which, however, well meant, is weak and futile. I cannot tell what good it does - what feeling it spares - what horror it conceals.
Charlotte Bronte
The negation of severe suffering was the nearest approach to happiness I expected to know. Besides, I seemed to hold two lives - the life of thought, and that of reality.
Charlotte Bronte
My wretched feet, flayed and swollen to lameness by the sharp air of January, began to heal and subside under the gentler breathings of April the nights and mornings no longer by their Canadian temperature froze the very blood in our veins we could now endure the play-hour passed in the garden.
Charlotte Bronte
Nervous alarms should always be communicated, that they may be dissipated.
Charlotte Bronte
Everyone else is just cocktails.
Charlotte Bronte
I see at intervals the glance of a curious sort of bird through the close set bars of a cage: a vivid, restless, resolute captive is there were it but free, it would soar cloud-high.
Charlotte Bronte
To see and know the worst is to take from Fear her main advantage.
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
Of late years an abundant shower of curates has fallen upon the North of England.
Charlotte Bronte
God waits only the separation of spirit from flesh to crown us with a full reward. Why, then, should we ever sink overwhelmed with distress, when life is so soon over, and death is so certain an entrance to happiness -- to glory?
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
as much good-will may be conveyed in one hearty word as in many.
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
As far as my experience of matrimony goes -- I think it tends to draw you out of, and away from yourself.
Charlotte Bronte
Consistency, madam, is the first of Christian duties.
Charlotte Bronte
Strange that grief should now almost choke me, because another human being's eye has failed to greet mine.
Charlotte Bronte
Oh! that gentleness! how far more potent is it than force!
Charlotte Bronte
Youth has its romance, and maturity its wisdom, as morning and spring have their freshness, noon and summer their power, night and winter their repose. Each attribute is good in its own season.
Charlotte Bronte
Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last.
