Quote

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!

To talk to each other is but a more animated and an audible thinking.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
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
Image
On the contrary, I'm a universal patriot, if you could understand me rightly: my country is the world.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
Better to try all things and find all empty, than to try nothing and leave your life a blank.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
You are afraid of me, because I talk like a sphinx.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
Crying does not indicate that you are weak. Since birth, it has always been a sign that you are alive.

Image
I grant an ugly woman is a blot on the fair face of creation but as to the gentleman, let them be solicitous to possess only strength and valour: let their motto be:Hunt, shoot, and fight: the rest is not worth a flip.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh: it is my spirit that addresses your spirit just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal--as we are!

Oh! that gentleness! how far more potent is it than force!

Out of association grows adhesion, and out of adhesion amalgamation.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
Friendship however is a plant which cannot be forced -- true friendship is no gourd spring up in a night and withering in a day.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
I can so clearly distinguish between the criminal and his crime I can so sincerely forgive the first while I abhor the last.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
I mean that I value vision, and dread being struck stone blind.

Image
It is not violence that best overcomes hate -- nor vengeance that most certainly heals injury.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
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
Image
We know that God is everywhere but certainly we feel His presence most when His works are on the grandest scale spread before us and it is in the unclouded night-sky, where His worlds wheel their silent course, that we read clearest His infinitude, His omnipotence, His omnipresence.

Image
I am no bird and no net ensnares me I am a free human being with an independent will.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
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
Image
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?

A ruffled mind makes a restless pillow.
