More quotes by Charlotte Bronte
You, Jane, I must have you for my own--entirely my own.
Charlotte Bronte
I don't wish to treat you like an inferior: that is (correcting himself), I claim only such superiority as must result from twenty years' difference in age and a century's advance in experience.
Charlotte Bronte
Men judge us by the success of our efforts. God looks at the efforts themselves.
Charlotte Bronte
Better to be without logic than without feeling.
Charlotte Bronte
There was no possibility of taking a walk that day.
Charlotte Bronte
If men could see us as we really are, they would be a little amazed.
Charlotte Bronte
As to the thoughts, they are elfish. Those eyes in the Evening Star you must have seen in a dream.
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
He was the first to recognise me, and to love what he saw.
Charlotte Bronte
Give him enough rope and he will hang himself.
Charlotte Bronte

Charlotte Bronte
We know that God is everywhere but certainly we feel His presence most when His works are on the grandest scale spread before us and it is in the unclouded night-sky, where His worlds wheel their silent course, that we read clearest His infinitude, His omnipotence, His omnipresence.
Charlotte Bronte
You transfix me quite.
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
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
Am I hideous, Jane? Very, sir: you always were, you know.
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
The City seems so much more in earnest: its business, its rush, its roar are such serious things, sights and sounds. The City is getting its living - the West-End but enjoying its pleasure.
Charlotte Bronte
I was no pope - I could not boast infallibility.
Charlotte Bronte
Self abandoned, relaxed and effortless, I seemed to have laid me down in the dried-up bed of a great river I heard a flood loosened in remote mountains, I felt the torrent come to rise I had no will, to flee I had no strength.
