Jane Eyre

"There is a candle lit in my soul."

"I am a free human being with an independent will."

"You are dreaming—you are dreaming, Mr. Rochester."

"I felt as though I had a charm or spell upon me."

"I have a strange feeling with regard to you."

"My very soul demanded liberty."

"I would rather be a slave in Africa than an unwilling bride here."

"What does it matter whether I am afraid or not?"

"I feel as if I were the instrument of some greater power."

"I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh; it is my spirit that addresses your spirit."

"The more solitary, the more friendless I am, the more I will respect myself."

"I would not change you unless I were to change myself."

"Feeling without judgment is a washy draught indeed."

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

"My time is governed by my duties."

"I have faith. I believe in the existence of other worlds, in the existence of something higher than I am."

"Do you think I am an automaton without feelings?"

"I felt as though I had hardly a right to trouble him with the question."

"You are not to suppose, because I am a paid subordinate, that I am merely a hired dependent."

"I am not speaking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh."

"Millions are condemned to a stiller doom than mine."

"I would always rather be happy than dignified."

"I have as much soul as you, and full as much heart!"

"There is no merit in loving a man you do not fear."

"He is more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same."

"I would as soon have turned a pythoness into a keep of my house."

"I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself."

"Conventionality is not morality."

"I felt as if this was a test of my constancy, my faith, my principle."

"Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs."
