Additional quotes by Charlotte Brontë

Poetry destroyed? Genius banished? No! Mediocrity, no: do not let envy prompt you to the thought. No; they not only live, but reign, and redeem: and without their divine influence spread everywhere, you would be in hell — the hell of your own meanness.

Writers cannot choose their own mood: with them it is not always hide-tide, nor — thank Heaven! — always Storm.

Love is real — the most real, the most lasting, the sweetest and yet the bitterest thing we know.

If we would build on a sure foundation in friendship, we must love friends for their sake rather than for our own. - Charlotte Brontë
