In sunshine, in prosperity, the flowers are very well but how many wet days are there in life—November seasons of disaster, when a man's hearth and home would be cold indeed, without the clear, cheering gleam of intellect.

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
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
I have no wish to talk nonsense. If you did, it would be in such a grave, quiet manner, I should mistake it for sense.
Charlotte Bronte
That to begin with let respect be the foundation, affection the first floor, love the superstructure.
Charlotte Bronte
I ask you to pass through life at my side—to be my second self, and best earthly companion.
Charlotte Bronte
Poverty, for me, is synonymous with degradation.
Charlotte Bronte
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.
