At heart, he could not abide sense in women: he liked to see them as silly, as light-headed, as vain, as open to ridicule as possible because they were then in reality what he held them to be, and wished them to be,--inferior: toys to play with, to amuse a vacant hour and to be thrown away.

I can live alone, if self-respect, and circumstances require me so to do. I need not sell my soul to buy bliss. I have an inward treasure born with me, which can keep me alive if all extraneous delights should be withheld, or offered only at a price I cannot afford to give.

In sunshine, in prosperity, the flowers are very well but how many wet days are there in life—November seasons of disaster, when a man's hearth and home would be cold indeed, without the clear, cheering gleam of intellect.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
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.

You mocking changeling- fairy-born and human-bred!

Writers cannot choose their own mood: with them it is not always hide-tide, nor --thank Heaven!--always Storm.

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.
