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
Poverty, for me, is synonymous with degradation.
Charlotte Bronte
Men judge us by the success of our efforts. God looks at the efforts themselves.
Charlotte Bronte
Unlawful pleasure, trenching on another's rights, is delusive and envenomed pleasureits hollowness disappoints at the time, its poison cruelly tortures afterwards, its effects deprave forever.
Charlotte Bronte
There's no use in weeping, Though we are condemned to part: There's such a thing as keeping, A remembrance in one's heart.
Charlotte Bronte
Propensities and principles must be reconciled by some means.
Charlotte Bronte
Tact, if it be genuine, never sleeps.
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.
