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.

More quotes by Charlotte Bronte
It is not violence that best overcomes hate -- nor vengeance that most certainly heals injury.
Charlotte Bronte
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
Of late years an abundant shower of curates has fallen upon the North of England.
Charlotte Bronte
Oh, I am not going to die, am I? He will not separate us, we have been so happy.
Charlotte Bronte
Wise people say it is folly to think anybody perfect and as to likes and dislikes, we should be friendly to all, and worship none
Charlotte Bronte
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.
Charlotte Bronte
But life is a battle: may we all be enabled to fight it well!
Charlotte Bronte
You transfix me quite.
Charlotte Bronte
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.
Charlotte Bronte
flattery would be worse than vain there is no consolation in flattery.
Charlotte Bronte
Some of the best people that ever lived have been as destitute as I am and if you are a Christian, you ought not to consider poverty a crime.
Charlotte Bronte
I longed for a power of vision which might overpass that limit which might reach the busy world, towns, regions full of life I had heard of but never seen: that I desired more of practical experience than I possessed more of intercourse with my kind, of acquaintance with variety of character, than was here within my reach.
Charlotte Bronte
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
Strange that grief should now almost choke me, because another human being's eye has failed to greet mine.
Charlotte Bronte
I can so clearly distinguish between the criminal and his crime I can so sincerely forgive the first while I abhor the last.
Charlotte Bronte
I like to see flowers growing, but when they are gathered, they cease to please. I look on them as things rootless and perishable their likeness to life makes me sad. I never offer flowers to those I love I never wish to receive them from hands dear to me.
Charlotte Bronte
I see at intervals the glance of a curious sort of bird through the close set bars of a cage: a vivid, restless, resolute captive is there were it but free, it would soar cloud-high.
Charlotte Bronte
Consistency, madam, is the first of Christian duties.
Charlotte Bronte
A new chapter in a novel is something like a new scene in a play.
Charlotte Bronte
I believe while I tremble I trust while I weep.
