Unheard-of combinations of ci...

Unheard-of combinations of circumstances demand unheard-of rules.

Charlotte Bronte 415 quotes

No mockery in this world ever...

No mockery in this world ever sounds to me so hollow as that of being told to cultivate happiness. What does such advice mean? Happiness is not a potato, to be planted in mould, and tilled with manure. Happiness is a glory shining far down upon us out of Heaven. She is a divine dew which the soul, on certain of its summer mornings, feels dropping upon it from the amaranth bloom and golden fruitage of Paradise.

Charlotte Bronte 415 quotes

I have little left in myself ...

I have little left in myself -- I must have you. The world may laugh -- may call me absurd, selfish -- but it does not signify. My very soul demands you: it will be satisfied, or it will take deadly vengeance on its frame.

Charlotte Bronte 415 quotes

I had not seen "Pride and Pre...

I had not seen "Pride and Prejudice," till I read that sentence of yours, and then I got the book. And what did I find? An accurate daguerreotyped portrait of a common-place face; a carefully fenced, highly cultivated garden, with neat borders and delicate flowers; but no glance of a bright, vivid physiognomy, no open country, no fresh air, no blue hill, no bonny beck. I should hardly like to live with her ladies and gentlemen, in their elegant but confined houses.

Charlotte Bronte 415 quotes

I hold another creed, which n...

I hold another creed, which no one ever taught me, and which I seldom mention, but in which I delight, and to which I cling, for it extends hope to all; it makes eternity a rest - a mighty home, not a terror and an abyss. Besides, with this creed, I can so clearly distinguish between the criminal and his crime; I can so sincerely forgive the first while I abhor the last; with this creed, revenge never worries my heart, degradation never too deeply disgusts me, injustice never crushes me too low. I live in calm, looking to the end.

Better to be without logic than without feeling.

I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will.

Charlotte Bronte 415 quotes

I feel monotony and death to be almost the same.

I don't call you handsome, sir, though I love you most dearly: far too dearly to flatter you. Don't flatter me.

Charlotte Bronte 415 quotes

Prejudices, it is well known,...

Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilized by education; they grow firm there, firm as weeds among stones.

Charlotte Bronte 415 quotes

If all the world hated you, a...

If all the world hated you, and believed you wicked, while your own conscience approved you, and absolved you from guilt, you would not be without friends.

Charlotte Bronte 415 quotes

You know full well as I do th...

You know full well as I do the value of sisters' affections: There is nothing like it in this world.

Charlotte Bronte 415 quotes

It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.

Charlotte Bronte 415 quotes

Youth has its romance, and ma...

Youth has its romance, and maturity its wisdom, as morning and spring have their freshness, noon and summer their power, night and winter their repose. Each attribute is good in its own season.

Charlotte Bronte 415 quotes

I care for myself. The more s...

I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself.

Charlotte Bronte 415 quotes

A great deal; you are good to...

A great deal; you are good to those who are good to you. It is all I ever desire to be. If people were always kind and obedient to those who are cruel and unjust, the wicked people would have it all their own way; they would never feel afraid, and so they would never alter, but would grow worse and worse. 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.

Charlotte Bronte 415 quotes

That to begin with; let respe...

That to begin with; let respect be the foundation, affection the first floor, love the superstructure.

Charlotte Bronte 415 quotes

The idea of seeing the sea - ...

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 415 quotes

Do you think, because I am po...

Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! - I have as much soul as you, - and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you!

Give him enough rope and he will hang himself.
