Charlotte Bronte was born on this date in 1816. Here are some quotes by her:
- Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity, or registering wrongs.
- Cheerfulness, it would appear, is a matter which depends fully as much on the state of things within, as on the state of things without and around us.
- Better to be without logic than without feeling.
- I try to avoid looking forward or backward, and try to keep looking upward.
- There is only one difference between a madman and me. I am not mad.
- I would always rather be happy than dignified.
- Flirting is a woman’s trade, one must keep in practice.
- I ask you to pass through life at my side—to be my second self, and best earthly companion.
- It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquillity: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.
- To prolong doubt was to prolong hope.
