The soul, fortunately, has an interpreter - often an unconscious, but still a truthful interpreter - in the eye.
Charlotte Bronte
Intelligence and proper education will give you independence of spirit.
Charlotte Bronte
His mind was indeed my library, and whenever it was opened to me, I entered bliss.
Charlotte Bronte
It is far better to endure patiently a smart which nobody feels but yourself, than to commit a hasty action whose evil consequences will extend to all connected with you.
Charlotte Bronte
Out of association grows adhesion, and out of adhesion amalgamation.
Charlotte Bronte
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.
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
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
You are afraid of me, because I talk like a sphinx.
Charlotte Bronte
I believe that creature is a changeling: she is a perfect cabinet of oddities.
Charlotte Bronte
You never felt jealousy, did you, Miss Eyre? Of course not: I need not ask you because you never felt love. You have both sentiments yet to experience: your soul sleeps the shock is yet to be given which shall waken it.
Charlotte Bronte
You, sir, are the most phantom-like of all you are a mere dream
Charlotte Bronte
Little Jane's love would have been my best reward, without it, my heart is broken.
Charlotte Bronte
No severe or prolonged bodily illness followed this incident of the red-room: it only gave my nerves a shock, of which I feel the reverberation to this day.
Charlotte Bronte
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?
Charlotte Bronte
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
The eagerness of a listener quickens the tongue of a narrator.
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
As far as my experience of matrimony goes -- I think it tends to draw you out of, and away from yourself.
Charlotte Bronte
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.
