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.

More quotes by Charlotte Bronte
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.
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
Out of association grows adhesion, and out of adhesion amalgamation.
Charlotte Bronte
It is not violence that best overcomes hate -- nor vengeance that most certainly heals injury.
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
Oft a little morning rain Foretells a pleasant day.
Charlotte Bronte
Friendship however is a plant which cannot be forced -- true friendship is no gourd spring up in a night and withering in a day.
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
Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last.
Charlotte Bronte
The idea of seeing the sea - of being near it - watching its changes by sunrise, sunset, moonlight, and noonday - in calm, perhaps in storm - fills and satisfies my mind.
Charlotte Bronte
The shadows are as important as the light.
Charlotte Bronte
Fair as a lily, and not only the pride of life, but the desire of his eyes
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
Spring drew on... and a greenness grew over those brown beds, which, freshening daily, suggested the thought that hope traversed them at night and left each morning brighter traces of her steps.
Charlotte Bronte
You mocking changeling- fairy-born and human-bred!
Charlotte Bronte
A new chapter in a novel is something like a new scene in a play.
Charlotte Bronte
[O]ur honeymoon will shine our life long: its beams will only fade over your grave or mine.
Charlotte Bronte
Life is so constructed, that the event does not, cannot, will not, match the expectation.
Charlotte Bronte
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.
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.
