More quotes by Charlotte Bronte
"The idea of seeing the sea - of being near it - watching its changes by sunrise, sunset, moonlight, and noonday - in calm, perhaps in storm - fills and satisfies my mind."
"A ruffled mind makes a restless pillow."
"Crying does not indicate that you are weak. Since birth, it has always been a sign that you are alive."
"I try to avoid looking forward or backward, and try to keep looking upward."
"A great deal; you are good to those who are good to you. It is all I ever desire to be. If people were always kind and obedient to those who are cruel and unjust, the wicked people would have it all their own way; they would never feel afraid, and so they would never alter, but would grow worse and worse. When we are struck at without a reason, we should strike back again very hard; I am sure we should - so hard as to teach the person who struck us never to do it again."
