("Jane Eyre")
More Quotes from Charlotte Bronte:
It is not saying too much; I know what I feel, and how averse are my inclinations to the bare thought of marriage. No one would take me for love; and I will not be regarded in the light of a mere money-speculation. And I do not want a stranger--unsympathizing, alien, different from me. I want my kindred--those with whom I have full fellow-feeling.Charlotte Bronte

Charlotte Bronte

Charlotte Bronte

Charlotte Bronte
Alas! never had I loved him so well!
