Quote

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
Better to try all things and find all empty, than to try nothing and leave your life a blank.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
Self abandoned, relaxed and effortless, I seemed to have laid me down in the dried-up bed of a great river I heard a flood loosened in remote mountains, I felt the torrent come to rise I had no will, to flee I had no strength.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
In sunshine, in prosperity, the flowers are very well but how many wet days are there in life—November seasons of disaster, when a man's hearth and home would be cold indeed, without the clear, cheering gleam of intellect.
Charlotte Bronte
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.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
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
Image
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
Image
There was no possibility of taking a walk that day.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
Men judge us by the success of our efforts. God looks at the efforts themselves.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
Friends always forget those whom fortune forsakes.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
I believe while I tremble I trust while I weep.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
You transfix me quite.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
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
Image
The shadows are as important as the light.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
The cool peace and dewy sweetness of the night filled me with a mood of hope: not hope on any definite point, but a general sense of encouragement and heart-ease.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
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.
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
To you I am neither man nor woman. I come before you as an author only.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
I wished critics would judge me as an author, not as a woman.
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
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.
