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.

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 care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself.
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
Friends always forget those whom fortune forsakes.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
Now it is not everybody, even amongst our respected friends and esteemed acquaintance, whom we like to have near us, whom we like to watch us, to wait on us, to approach us with the proximity of a nurse to a patient. It is not every friend whose eye is a light in a sickroom, whose presence is there a solace.

Children can feel, but they cannot analyse their feelings and if the analysis is partially effected in thought, they know not how to express the result of the process in words.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
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
Image
You ask rather too many questions. I have given you answers enough for the present: now I want to read.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
If men could see us as we really are, they would be a little amazed.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
I wished critics would judge me as an author, not as a woman.
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
Love me, then, or hate me, as you will, I said at last, you have my full and free forgiveness: ask now for God's, and be at peace.

Image
flattery would be worse than vain there is no consolation in flattery.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
Am I hideous, Jane? Very, sir: you always were, you know.

Image
If life be a war, it seemed my destiny to conduct it single-handed.

He made me love him without looking at me.

Make my happiness--I will make yours.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
I believe in some blending of hope and sunshine sweetening the worst lots. I believe that this life is not all neither the beginning nor the end. I believe while I tremble I trust while I weep.

Image
Crying does not indicate that you are weak. Since birth, it has always been a sign that you are alive.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
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.
