Charlotte Bronte
When you are inquisitive, Jane, you always make me smile. You open your eyes like an eager bird, and make every now and then a restless movement, as if answers in speech did not flow fast enough for you, and you wanted to read the tablet of one's heart.
Charlotte Bronte
His mind was indeed my library, and whenever it was opened to me, I entered bliss.
Charlotte Bronte
Men judge us by the success of our efforts. God looks at the efforts themselves.
