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.
("The Tenant of Wildfell Hall")
More Quotes from Anne Bronte:
But then to wake and find it flown,The dream of happiness destroyed,
To find myself unloved, alone,
What tongue can speak the dreary void?
Anne Bronte
If life must be so full of care,
Then call me soon to Thee;
Or give me strength enough to bear
My load of misery.
Anne Bronte
I cannot say my faith is strong,
I dare not hope my love is great;
But strength and love to Thee belong,
O, do not leave me desolate!
Anne Bronte
Mistaken oft, and oft astray,
It strives to find the narrow way,
But gropes and toils alone:
That inner life of strife and tears,
Of kindling hopes and lowering fears
To none but God is known.
Anne Bronte
She was trusted and valued by her father, loved and courted by all dogs, cats, children, and poor people, and slighted and neglected by everybody else.
Anne Bronte
My life is very lonely,
My days pass heavily,
I'm wearing of repining,
Wilt thou not come to me?
Anne Bronte
