Strange that grief should now almost choke me, because another human being's eye has failed to greet mine.
Charlotte Bronte
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.
Charlotte Bronte
A ruffled mind makes a restless pillow.
Charlotte Bronte
Crying does not indicate that you are weak. Since birth, it has always been a sign that you are alive.
Charlotte Bronte
You can write nothing of value unless you give yourself wholly to the the theme -- and when you so give yourself -- you lose appetite ans sleep -- it cannot be helped --
Charlotte Bronte
Jane, I never meant to wound you thus...Will you ever forgive me? Reader, I forgave him at the moment and on the spot.
Charlotte Bronte
I shall be thirty-one next birthday. My youth is gone like a dream and very little use have I ever made of it. What have I done these last thirty years? Precious little.
Charlotte Bronte
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
flattery would be worse than vain there is no consolation in flattery.
Charlotte Bronte
I can but die... and I believe in God. Let me try and wait His will in silence.

Tact, if it be genuine, never sleeps.
Charlotte Bronte
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?
Charlotte Bronte

Charlotte Bronte
Spring drew on... and a greenness grew over those brown beds, which, freshening daily, suggested the thought that hope traversed them at night and left each morning brighter traces of her steps.
Charlotte Bronte
You transfix me quite.
Charlotte Bronte
Que me voulez-vous?' said he in a growl of which the music was wholly confined to his chest and throat, for he kept his teeth clenched, and seemed registering to himself an inward vow that nothing earthly should wring from him a smile. My answer commenced uncompromisingly: - 'Monsieur,' I said, je veux l'impossible, des choses inouïes.
Charlotte Bronte
There is, I am convinced, no picture that conveys in all its dreadfulness, a vision of sorrow, despairing, remediless, supreme. If I could paint such a picture, the canvas would show only a woman looking down at her empty arms.
Charlotte Bronte
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
The practice of hinting by single letters those expletives with which profane and violent persons are wont to garnish their discourse, strikes me as a proceeding which, however, well meant, is weak and futile. I cannot tell what good it does - what feeling it spares - what horror it conceals.
Charlotte Bronte
I both wished and feared to see Mr. Rochester on the day which followed this sleepless night. I wanted to hear his voice again, yet feared to meet his eye.
