Jane Eyre’s famous declaration of women’s independence: “Do you think that because I am poor, humble, not beautiful, and short, I have no soul and heart? You are wrong!—— My soul is just like yours, and my heart is exactly like yours! If God had gifted me with some beauty and some wealth, I would have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. It is not through custom, usage, or even mortal flesh that speaks,—it is my spirit that speaks to your spirit; just as both have passed through the grave, and we stand at God's feet equal,— —Because we are equal!" (205)

Jane Eyre famously said, "Women are generally thought to be extremely quiet, but women feel the same way as men; they are like their brothers. All the same, their faculties need to be exercised, and a field of effort is needed; they are too severely restrained, too absolutely stagnant, and suffer just as men do; while their more privileged congeners say that they should be confined to Making puddings, knitting socks, playing the piano, and embroidering pockets, then they are too narrow-minded (86)"

Famous quote from "Wuthering Heights": 'Heaven is not my home. , after crying and breaking my heart, I want to return to the world'. ”
