Charlotte Bronte
I have not broken your heart - you have broken it and in breaking it, you have broken mine.
Charlotte Bronte
If he were insane, however, his was a very cool and collected insanity.
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.
