Jane Eyre



Jane Eyre is an autobiography I will always love; Charlotte Bronte’s style amuses me a lot. The novel carries you along, you get ‘dumped’ into the novel becoming the heroine: Jane Eyre

Quotes from Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre
Speak I must: I had been trodden on severely, and must turn: but how? What strength had I to dart retaliation at my antagonist? - Jane Eyre

I am not deceitful: if I were, I should say I love you, but I declare I do not love you: I dislike the worst of anybody in the world except John Reed; and this book about the liar, you may give your girl Georgina, for it is she who, tell lies, and not I.- Jane Eyre

I am glad you are no relation of mine: I will never call you aunt again as long as I live. I will never come to see you when I am grown up; and if any one asks me how I liked you, and how you treated me, I will say the very thought of you makes me sick, and you treated me with miserable cruelty.- Jane Eyre

I will tell anybody who asks me questions this exact tale. People think you a good woman, but you are bad; hard-hearted. You are deceitful!
Something of vengeance I had tasted for the first time; as romantic wine it seemed, on swallowing, warm and racy: its after-flavour, metallic and corroding, gave me a sensation as if I had been poisoned.- Jane Eyre

It is far better to endure patiently a smart which nobody feels but yourself, than to commit a hasty action whose evil consequences will extend to all connected to you; and, besides the Bible bids us to return good for evil. - Helen Burns.

It is not violence that best overcomes hate - nor vengeance that most certainly heals injury. – Helen Burns

Presentiments are strange things! And are sympathies; and so are signs: and the three combined make one misery to which humanity has not yet found the key. – Jane Eyre

A sneer, however, whether covert or open, had now no longer power over me it once possessed… - Jane Eyre

But unimpressionable natures are not so readily eradicated – Jane Eyre

I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities or even mortal flesh:- it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood before God’s feet, equal,- as we are!
