More quotes by Charlotte Bronte
Gentle reader, may you never feel what I then felt! May your eyes never shed such stormy, scalding, heart-wrung tears as poured from mine. May you never appeal to Heaven in prayers so hopeless and so agised as in that hour left my lips: for never may you, like me, dread to be the instrument of evil to what you wholly love.
Charlotte Bronte
I like the spirit of this great London which I feel around me. Who but a coward would pass his whole life in hamlets and for ever abandon his faculties to the eating rust of obscurity?
Charlotte Bronte
Neither birth nor sex forms a limit to genius.
Charlotte Bronte
Oft a little morning rain Foretells a pleasant day.
Charlotte Bronte
I can be on guard against my enemies, but God deliver me from my friends!
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
You ask rather too many questions. I have given you answers enough for the present: now I want to read.
Charlotte Bronte
What the deuce is to do now?
Charlotte Bronte
I believe while I tremble I trust while I weep.
Charlotte Bronte
You had no right to be born for you make no use of life. Instead of living for, in, and with yourself, as a reasonable being ought, you seek only to fasten your feebleness on some other person's strength.
Charlotte Bronte
Poverty, for me, is synonymous with degradation.
Charlotte Bronte
You transfix me quite.
Charlotte Bronte
I seem to have gathered up a stray lamb in my arms: you wandered out of the fold to seek your shepherd, did you, Jane?
Charlotte Bronte
Am I hideous, Jane? Very, sir: you always were, you know.
Charlotte Bronte
There is a perverse mood of the mind which is rather soothed than irritated by misconstruction and in quarters where we can never be rightly known, we take pleasure, I think, in being consummately ignored. What honest man on being casually taken for a housebreaker does not feel rather tickled than vexed at the mistake?
Charlotte Bronte
One does not jump, and spring, and shout hurrah! at hearing one has got a fortune, one begins to consider responsibilities, and to ponder business on a base of steady satisfaction rise certain grave cares, and we contain ourselves, and brood over our bliss with a solemn brow.
Charlotte Bronte
He turned away he threw himself on his face on the sofa. 'Oh, Jane! my hope - my love - my life!' broke in anguish from his lips.
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 thank my Maker, that in the midst of judgment he has remembered mercy. I humbly entreat my Redeemer to give me strength to lead henceforth a purer life than I have done hitherto.
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.
