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
Peril, loneliness, an uncertain future, are not oppressive evils, so long as the frame is healthy and the faculties are employed so long, especially, as Liberty lends us her wings, and Hope guides us by her star.
Charlotte Bronte
I like this day I like that sky of steel I like the sternness and stillness of the world under this frost.
Charlotte Bronte
They will both be happy, and I do not grudge them their bliss but I groan under my own misery: some of my suffering is very acute. Truly, I ought not to have been born: they should have smothered me at first cry.
Charlotte Bronte
I both wished and feared to see Mr. Rochester on the day which followed this sleepless night. I wanted to hear his voice again, yet feared to meet his eye.
Charlotte Bronte
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.
Charlotte Bronte
Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last.
Charlotte Bronte
All my heart is yours, sir: it belongs to you and with you it would remain, were fate to exile the rest of me from your presence forever.
Charlotte Bronte
You have rather the look of another world. I marvelled where you had got that sort of face.
Charlotte Bronte
Daydreams are the delusions of the devil.
Charlotte Bronte
I can only say with deeper sincerity and fuller significance what I have always said in theory - Wait God's will.
Charlotte Bronte
But what is so headstrong as youth? What so blind as inexperience?
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
Everyone else is just cocktails.
Charlotte Bronte
Intelligence and proper education will give you independence of spirit.
Charlotte Bronte
God did not give me my life to throw it away.
Charlotte Bronte
The practice of hinting by single letters those expletives with which profane and violent persons are wont to garnish their discourse, strikes me as a proceeding which, however, well meant, is weak and futile. I cannot tell what good it does - what feeling it spares - what horror it conceals.
Charlotte Bronte
Better to be without logic than without feeling.
Charlotte Bronte
And with that answer, he left me. I would much rather he had knocked me down.
Charlotte Bronte
There is no happiness like that of being loved by your fellow creatures, and feeling that your presence is an addition to their comfort.
Charlotte Bronte
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
