The human and fallible should not arrogate a power with which the divine and perfect alone can be safely intrusted.
Charlotte Bronte
I am no bird and no net ensnares me I am a free human being with an independent will.

He is not to them what he is to me, I thought: he is not of their kind. I believe he is of mine- I am sure he is- I feel akin to him- I understand the language of his countenance and movements: though rank and wealth sever us widely, I have something in my brain and heart, in my blood and nerves, that assimilates me mentally to him.

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
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
The man of regular life and rational mind never despairs.
Charlotte Bronte
The writer who possesses the creative gift owns something of which he is not always master - something that, at times, strangely wills and works for itself.
Charlotte Bronte
To you I am neither man nor woman. I come before you as an author only.
Charlotte Bronte
A new chapter in a novel is something like a new scene in a play.
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.
Charlotte Bronte
I soon forgot storm in music.
Charlotte Bronte
There's no use in weeping, Though we are condemned to part: There's such a thing as keeping, A remembrance in one's heart.
Charlotte Bronte
This is a terrible hour, but it is often that darkest point which precedes the rise of day that turn of the year when the icy January wind carries over the waste at once the dirge of departing winter, and the prophecy of coming spring.
