I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself.

Oft a little morning rain Foretells a pleasant day.

We know that God is everywhere but certainly we feel His presence most when His works are on the grandest scale spread before us and it is in the unclouded night-sky, where His worlds wheel their silent course, that we read clearest His infinitude, His omnipotence, His omnipresence.

The idea of seeing the sea - of being near it - watching its changes by sunrise, sunset, moonlight, and noonday - in calm, perhaps in storm - fills and satisfies my mind.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
The human and fallible should not arrogate a power with which the divine and perfect alone can be safely intrusted.

Am I hideous, Jane? Very, sir: you always were, you know.

Unlawful pleasure, trenching on another's rights, is delusive and envenomed pleasure—its hollowness disappoints at the time, its poison cruelly tortures afterwards, its effects deprave forever.

You mocking changeling- fairy-born and human-bred!
Charlotte Bronte
Image
It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility: they must have action and they will make it if they cannot find it.

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.

Life is so constructed, that the event does not, cannot, will not, match the expectation.
Charlotte Bronte

Rapidly, merrily, Life's sunny hours flit by, Gratefully, cheerily Enjoy them as they fly!

On the contrary, I'm a universal patriot, if you could understand me rightly: my country is the world.

Friendship however is a plant which cannot be forced -- true friendship is no gourd spring up in a night and withering in a day.
Charlotte Bronte

The negation of severe suffering was the nearest approach to happiness I expected to know. Besides, I seemed to hold two lives - the life of thought, and that of reality.

He is not to them what he is to me.

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. More than girls? Very likely.

He is not to them what he is to me, I thought: he is not of their kind. I believe he is of mine- I am sure he is- I feel akin to him- I understand the language of his countenance and movements: though rank and wealth sever us widely, I have something in my brain and heart, in my blood and nerves, that assimilates me mentally to him.
