I mentally shake hands with you for your answer, despite its inaccuracy. Mr. Rochester
Charlotte Bronte
Image
Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
Reader, I literally married him.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
Nervous alarms should always be communicated, that they may be dissipated.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
The charm of variety there was not, nor the excitement of incident but I liked peace so well, and sought stimulus so little, that when the latter came I almost felt it a disturbance, and rather still wished it had held aloof.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
Youth has its romance, and maturity its wisdom, as morning and spring have their freshness, noon and summer their power, night and winter their repose. Each attribute is good in its own season.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
Some of the best people that ever lived have been as destitute as I am and if you are a Christian, you ought not to consider poverty a crime.

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.

The eagerness of a listener quickens the tongue of a narrator.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
Do you like him much?' I told you I liked him a little. Where is the use of caring for him so very much: he is full of faults.' Is he?' All boys are.

Dread remorse when you are tempted to err, Miss Eyre remorse is the poison of life.

Image
You, Jane, I must have you for my own--entirely my own.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
as much good-will may be conveyed in one hearty word as in many.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
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
Image
The vehemence of emotion, stirred by grief and love within me, was claiming mastery, and struggling for full sway and asserting a right to predominate: to overcome, to live, rise, and reign at last yes,--and to speak.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
I am not an angel, I asserted and I will not be one till I die: I will be myself.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
I can live alone, if self-respect, and circumstances require me so to do. I need not sell my soul to buy bliss. I have an inward treasure born with me, which can keep me alive if all extraneous delights should be withheld, or offered only at a price I cannot afford to give.

We wove a web in childhood, A web of sunny air We dug a spring in infancy Of water pure and fair We sowed in youth a mustard seed, We cut an almond rod We are now grown up to riper age— Are they withered in the sod?
