JANE EYRE (2011)

I'm the same plain kind of bird as all the rest, with my common tale of woe.

[jaeausten]

I grieve to leave Thornfield: I love Thornfield: I love it, because I have lived in it a full and delightful life… I see the necessity of departure; and it is like looking on the necessity of death.

books (re)read in 2026: wuthering heights by emily brontë

Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living. You said I killed you — haunt me then. The murdered do haunt their murderers. I believe — I know that ghosts have wandered the earth. Be with me always — take any form — drive me mad. Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! It is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!

[viillette]

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

Yet after all my task was not an easy one; often I would rather have pleased than teased him. My future husband was becoming to me my whole world; and more than the world: almost my hope of heaven. He stood between me and every thought of religion, as an eclipse intervenes between man and the broad sun. I could not, in those days, see God for His creature: of whom I had made an idol.
