"It is a long way off, sir" "From what Jane?" "From England and from Thornfield: and ___" "Well?" "From you, sir" - Charlotte Brontë

I tired of the routine of eight years in one afternoon.

My world had for some years been Lowood: my experience had been of its rules and systems; now I remembered that the real world was wide, and that a varied field of hopes and fears, of sensations and excitements, awaited those who had courage to go forth into its expanse, to seek real knowledge of life amidst its perils.

I liked my name pronounced by your lips in a grateful, happy accent.
