Quote

The ease of his manner freed me from painful restraint the friendly frankness, as correct as cordial, with which he treated me, drew me to him

There is no happiness like that of being loved by your fellow creatures, and feeling that your presence is an addition to their comfort.

Image
Consistency, madam, is the first of Christian duties.

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.

Writers cannot choose their own mood: with them it is not always hide-tide, nor --thank Heaven!--always Storm.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
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?

I am not an angel, I asserted and I will not be one till I die: I will be myself.

Image
That a greater fool than Jane Eyre had never breathed the breath of life that a more fantastic idiot had never surfeited herself on sweet lies, and swallowed poison as if it were nectar.

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.

I sat down and tried to rest. I could not though I had been on foot all day, I could not now repose an instant I was too much excited. A phase of my life was closing tonight, a new one opening tomorrow: impossible to slumber in the interval I must watch feverishly while the change was being accomplished.

Image
To talk to each other is but a more animated and an audible thinking.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
Reserved people often really need the frank discussion of their sentiments and griefs more than the expansive.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
I wished critics would judge me as an author, not as a woman.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
God waits only the separation of spirit from flesh to crown us with a full reward. Why, then, should we ever sink overwhelmed with distress, when life is so soon over, and death is so certain an entrance to happiness -- to glory?
Charlotte Bronte
Image
Better to try all things and find all empty, than to try nothing and leave your life a blank.

Unheard-of combinations of circumstances demand unheard-of rules.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
Life is so constructed, that the event does not, cannot, will not, match the expectation.

Look twice before you leap.

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.

Give him enough rope and he will hang himself.
