Jane Eyre

"Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion"

"I would always rather be happy than dignified"

"I am no bird; and no net ensnares me"

"I nurse no resentment against those who are innocent of intention to offend."

"The heart is a strange instrument."

"I am grateful for every moment that does not bring fresh sorrow."

"You have hurt me, but I do not hate you."

"I am not afraid of fire; I am afraid of falsehood."

"To marry without love would be a profanation of the most sacred union."

"My spirit has fled from the present world to another."

"I am of a constitution to endure the worst."

"The charm of life is in its variety."

"I would not love him if he were not worthy of love."

"I would rather die than take a step from my own choice."

"My tears were as free as those of a suffering animal."

"Alone I not fear to chamber with thoughts."

"Learning is a pleasure to me."

"I have no pleasure in the world more than you."

"Hope is a danger I dare not indulge in."

"I would not be your English Cornelian; I would be your wife."

"Women are supposed to be very calm generally: but women feel just as men feel."

"I am a plain man, but I say what I mean."

"No mockery in this world ever sounds to me so shallow as that of pretending to rejoice at what you have lost."

"God made me a sincere nature; I cannot change it."

"I shall endure; I shall not be broken."

"Feeling without judgment is a washy draught indeed."

"To be together is for us to be at peace."

"I am resolved not to be in love with you."

"Misery generates hate: these sufferings could not change me into such a monster."

"I would not be unjust to him, even to save my own life."
