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
Everyone else is just cocktails.
Charlotte Bronte
Fair as a lily, and not only the pride of life, but the desire of his eyes
Charlotte Bronte
The man of regular life and rational mind never despairs.
Charlotte Bronte
I can but die... and I believe in God. Let me try and wait His will in silence.
Charlotte Bronte
Children can feel, but they cannot analyse their feelings and if the analysis is partially effected in thought, they know not how to express the result of the process in words.
Charlotte Bronte
Monsieur, sit down listen to me. I am not a heathen, I am not hard-hearted, I am not unchristian, I am not dangerous, as they tell you I would not trouble your faith you believe in God and Christ and the Bible, and so do I.
Charlotte Bronte
Liberty lends us her wings and Hope guides us by her star.
Charlotte Bronte
Shake me off, then, sir--push me away for I'll not leave you of my own accord.
