It does good to no woman to be flattered by her superior, who cannot possibly intend to marry her; and it is madness in all women to let a secret love kindle within them, which, if unreturned and unknown, must devour the life that feeds it; and, if discovered and responded to, must lead, ignis-fatuus-like, into miry wilds, whence there is no extrication.

— Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

Looking back upon the year's accumulated heap of troubles, Margaret wondered how they had been borne. If she could have anticipated them, how she would have shrunk away and hid herself from the coming time! And yet day by day had, of itself, and by itself, been very endurable--small, keen, bright little spots of positive enjoyment having come sparkling into the very middle of sorrows.

:: books of 2017 :: “Time will mellow it, make it a moment for laughter. But now it was not funny, now I did not laugh. It was not the future, it was the present. It was too vivid and too real.” 

[orlaite]

So oft it chances in particular men That through some vicious mole of nature in them, By the o'ergrowth of some complexion Oft breaking down the pales and forts of reason, Or by some habit grown too much; that these men— Carrying, I say, the stamp of one defect, Their virtues else—be they as pure as grace, Shall in the general censure take corruption From that particular fault.

HAMLET 1948 | dir. Laurence Olivier

I have no doubt, Mr. Holmes, you can easily trace my client.  But I must ask you, as a point of honor, to refrain from doing so.  I think I can safely promise that.

 If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?

fav books i read in 2025: jane eyre - charlotte brontë;

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