More Quotes from Anne Bronte:
I am satisfied that if a book is a good one, it is so whatever the sex of the author may be. All novels are or should be written for both men and women to read, and I am at a loss to conceive how a man should permit himself to write anything that would be really disgraceful to a woman, or why a woman should be censured for writing anything that would be proper and becoming for a man.Anne Bronte
If you would have your son to walk honourably through the world, you must not attempt to clear the stones from his path, but teach him to walk firmly over them - not insist upon leading him by the hand, but let him learn to go alone.
Anne Bronte

Anne Brontë

Anne Bronte
For Thou hast taken my delight
And hope of life away,
And bid me watch the painful night
And wait the weary day.
Anne Bronte
O, beautiful, and full of grace!
