“Dread remorse when you are tempted to err, Miss Eyre remorse is the poison of life.” –Mr. To pluck the mask from the face of the Pharisee, is not to lift an impious hand to the Crown of Thorns.” To attack the first is not to assail the last.
If at my individual convenience I might break them, what would be their worth?” “Laws and principles are not for the times when there is no temptation: they are for such moments as this, when body and soul rise in mutiny against their rigour stringent are they inviolate they shall be. I have an inward treasure born with me, which can keep me alive if all extraneous delights should be withheld, or offered only at a price I cannot afford to give.” On morality and religion “I can live alone, if self-respect, and circumstances require me so to do. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself.” “A beauty neither of fine colour nor long eyelash, nor penciled brow, but of meaning, of movement, of radiance.” On self-care and respect
Most true it is that ‘beauty is in the eye of the gazer.’” And if that boisterous Channel, and two hundred miles or so of land come broad between us, I am afraid that cord of communion will be snapt and then I’ve a nervous notion I should take to bleeding inwardly.” –Mr. “I sometimes have a queer feeling with regard to you–especially when you are near me, as now: it is as if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly and inextricably knotted to a similar string situated in the corresponding quarter of your little frame. Your mind is my treasure, and if it were broken, it would be my treasure still.” –Mr. “Every atom of your flesh is as dear to me as my own: in pain and sickness it would still be dear. Rochester, you must neither expect nor exact anything celestial of me–for you will not get it, any more than I shall get it of you: which I do not at all anticipate.’” “’I am not an angel,’ I asserted ‘and I will not be one till I die: I will be myself. “There is no happiness like that of being loved by your fellow-creatures, and feeling that your presence is an addition to their comfort.” “I would always rather be happy than dignified.” “I do not think, sir, you have a right to command me, merely because you are older than I, or because you have seen more of the world than I have your claim to superiority depends on the use you have made of your time and experience.” Jane Eyre quotes about love It is thoughtless to condemn them, or laugh at them, if they seek to do more or learn more than custom has pronounced necessary for their sex.” “Women are supposed to be very calm generally: but women feel just as men feel they need exercise for their faculties, and a field for their efforts, as much as their brothers do they suffer from too rigid a restraint, to absolute a stagnation, precisely as men would suffer and it is narrow-minded in their more privileged fellow-creatures to say that they ought to confine themselves to making puddings and knitting stockings, to playing on the piano and embroidering bags. 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 just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God’s feet, equal,–as we are!”

“Do you think I am an automaton?–a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!–I have as much soul as you,–and full as much heart!
