Charlotte Bronte Quotes

1. If others don't love me, I would rather die than live - I can't stand being alone and hated.

2. Do you think that I will stay and be willing to be an insignificant person to you? Do you think I'm a machine? ——A machine without emotions? Can I bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my mouth, and my drop of water of life dashed from my cup? Just because I am poor, unknown, plain-looking, and small, do I have no soul and no heart? ——You think wrong. My soul is as rich as yours, and my heart is as full as yours! If God had gifted me with some beauty and plenty of wealth, I would have made it as hard to part with you as I am now! I speak not to you through the medium of custom, convention, nor even of flesh and blood, but from my spirit to your spirit, just as though we had passed through the grave and stood at the feet of God, equal - as it is!

3. If you can’t avoid it, you have to endure it. It is a sign of weakness and stupidity not to be able to endure the things you are destined to endure in life.
