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
Cheerfulness, it would appear, is a matter which depends fully as much on the state of things within, as on the state of things without and around us.
Charlotte Bronte
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
It would not be wicked to love me. It would to obey you.
Charlotte Bronte
The negation of severe suffering was the nearest approach to happiness I expected to know. Besides, I seemed to hold two lives - the life of thought, and that of reality.
Charlotte Bronte
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
One does not jump, and spring, and shout hurrah! at hearing one has got a fortune, one begins to consider responsibilities, and to ponder business on a base of steady satisfaction rise certain grave cares, and we contain ourselves, and brood over our bliss with a solemn brow.
Charlotte Bronte
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
That to begin with let respect be the foundation, affection the first floor, love the superstructure.
Charlotte Bronte
I mentally shake hands with you for your answer, despite its inaccuracy. Mr. Rochester
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
It does good to no woman to be flattered [by a man] who does not intend to marry her and it is madness in all women to let a secret love kindle within them, which, if unreturned and unknown, must devour the life that feeds it and, if discovered and responded to, must lead, ignis-fatuus-like, into miry wilds whence there is no extrication.
Charlotte Bronte
Mr. Rochester, I no more assign this fate to you than I grasp at it for myself. We were born to strive and endure - you as well as I: do so. You will forget me before I forget you.
Charlotte Bronte
My love has placed her little hand With noble faith in mine, And vowed that wedlock's sacred band Our nature shall entwine. My love has sworn, with sealing kiss, With me to live -- to die I have at last my nameless bliss: As I love -- loved am I!
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
Shake me off, then, sir--push me away for I'll not leave you of my own accord.
Charlotte Bronte
I knew you would do me good in some way, at some time--I saw it in your eyes when I first beheld you.
Charlotte Bronte
Well had Solomon said,'Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
Charlotte Bronte
Oh, I am not going to die, am I? He will not separate us, we have been so happy.
Charlotte Bronte
Unheard-of combinations of circumstances demand unheard-of rules.
Charlotte Bronte
Men judge us by the success of our efforts. God looks at the efforts themselves.
