But this I know; the writer wh...

But this I know; 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. He may lay down rules and devise principles, and to rules and principles it will perhaps for years lie in subjection; and then, haply without any warning of revolt, there comes a time when it will no longer consent.

As to the thoughts, they are elfish. Those eyes in the Evening Star you must have seen in a dream.

Charlotte Bronte 415 quotes

Gentle reader, may you never f...

Gentle reader, may you never feel what I then felt! May your eyes never shed such stormy, scalding, heart-wrung tears as poured from mine. May you never appeal to Heaven in prayers so hopeless and so agised as in that hour left my lips: for never may you, like me, dread to be the instrument of evil to what you wholly love.

Charlotte Bronte 415 quotes

I thank my Maker, that in the midst of judgment he has remembered mercy. I humbly entreat my Redeemer to give me strength to lead henceforth a purer life than I have done hitherto.

Charlotte Bronte 415 quotes

It is a happy thing that time ...

It is a happy thing that time quells the longings of vengeance and hushes the promptings of rage and aversion. I had left this woman in bitterness and hate, and I came back to her now with no other emotion than a sort of ruth for her great sufferings, and strong yearning to forget and forgive all injuries - to be reconciled and clasp hands in amity.

Charlotte Bronte 415 quotes

I envy you your peace of mind,...

I envy you your peace of mind, your clean conscience, your unpolluted memory. Little girl, a memory without blot of contamination must be an exquisite treasure-an inexhaustible source of pure refreshment: is it not?

Charlotte Bronte 415 quotes

Fortune is proverbially called...

Fortune is proverbially called changeful, yet her caprice often takes the form of repeating again and again a similar stroke of luck in the same quarter.

Charlotte Bronte 415 quotes

I can live alone, if self-resp...

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 415 quotes

I had not intended to love him...

I had not intended to love him; the reader knows I had wrought hard to extirpate from my soul the germs of love there detected; and now, at the first renewed view of him, they spontaneously revived, great and strong! He made me love him without looking at me.

Charlotte Bronte 415 quotes

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 415 quotes

Every atom of your flesh is as...

Every atom of your flesh is as dear to me as my own: in pain and sickness it would still be dear.

Charlotte Bronte 415 quotes

To women who please me only by...

To women who please me only by their faces, I am the very devil when I find out they have neither souls nor hearts Ђ' when they open to me a perspective of flatness, triviality, and perhaps imbecility, coarseness, and ill-temper: but to the clear eye and eloquent tongue, to the soul made of fire, and the character that bends but does not break Ђ' at once supple and stable, tractable and consistent Ђ' I am ever tender and true. (Mr Rochester to Jane)

Charlotte Bronte 415 quotes

Laws and principles are not fo...

Laws and principles are not for the times when there is no temptation: they are for such moments as this, when body and soul rise in mutiny against their rigour ... If at my convenience I might break them, what would be their worth?

Charlotte Bronte 415 quotes

I am not an angel,' I asserted...

I am not an angel,' I asserted; 'and I will not be one till I die: I will be myself. Mr. Rochester, you must neither expect nor exact anything celestial of me - for you will not get it, any more than I shall get it of you: which I do not at all anticipate.

I am no bird and no net ensnares me

Charlotte Bronte 415 quotes

The trouble is not that I am single and likely to stay single, but that I am lonely and likely to stay lonely.

The shadows are as important as the light.

A depressing and difficult passage has prefaced every page I have turned in life.

Even for me life had its gleams of sunshine.

Charlotte Bronte 415 quotes

When we are struck at without ...

When we are struck at without a reason, we should strike back again very hard; I am sure we should - so hard as to teach the person who struck us never to do it again.
