Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilized by education they grow firm there, firm as weeds among stones.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
The writer who possesses the creative gift owns something of which he is not always master - something that, at times, strangely wills and works for itself.

Image
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.

Image
There was no possibility of taking a walk that day.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
Gentle, soft dream, nestling in my arms now, you will fly, too, as your sisters have all fled before you: but kiss me before you go--embrace me, Jane.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
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.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
And with that answer, he left me. I would much rather he had knocked me down.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
Reserved people often really need the frank discussion of their sentiments and griefs more than the expansive.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
Strange that grief should now almost choke me, because another human being's eye has failed to greet mine.

Fair as a lily, and not only the pride of life, but the desire of his eyes
