“’Jane, be still; don’t struggle so like a wild, frantic bird, that is rending its own plumage in its desperation.’ ‘I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being, with an independent will; which I now exert to leave you.’” -Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre “I’ll walk where my own nature would be leading: It vexes me to choose another guide.” -Emily Brontë I love the Brontë sisters. This is probably one of the most marked-up, underlined, highlighted books that I own. I am always finding passages that pierce through me, gripping me with the perfect expression of thoughts and feelings I have felt deeply but never been able to unfetter with words.
