| 3c74ed2 | How dare I, Mrs Reed? How dare I? Because it is the truth. You think I have no feelings, and that I can do without one bit of love or kindness; but I cannot live so: and you have no pity. | Charlotte Brontë | ||
| c42002c | Don't talk to me about her, John: I told you not to go near her; she is not worthy of notice; I do not choose that either you or your sisters should associate with her." Here, leaning over the banister, I cried out suddenly, and without at all deliberating on my words-- "They are not fit to associate with me!" | Charlotte Brontë | ||
| fd85b40 | if people were always kind and obedient to those who are cruel and injust, the wicked people would have it all their own way: they will never be 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 | vengeance | Charlotte Brontë | |
| 3d7c89a | He is not a ghost; yet every nerve I have is unstrung: for a moment I am beyond my own mastery. What does it mean? I did not think I should tremble in this way when I saw him, or lose my voice or the power of motion in his presence. | Charlotte Brontë | ||
| 1526a45 | Ogni atomo della sua carne mi e caro come la mia propria; l'amerei malata, l'amerei infelice. Il suo animo e il mio tesoro e anche se si smarrisse continuerebbe ad esserlo. Se delirasse, le mie braccia la tratterrebbero, e non una camicia di forza; una sua stretta, anche se inconsapevole e feroce, mi alletterebbe e anche se lei mi si avventasse addosso furibonda come ha fatto stamane quella donna, l'accoglierei con un abbraccio energico si,.. | Charlotte Brontë | ||

| 8397a8e | Es inutil decir que los seres humanos deberian estar satisfechos de llevar una vida tranquila; han de tener accion, y si no pueden encontrarla, la provocaran de un modo u otro. (...) Por lo general, se supone que las mujeres son muy tranquilas, pero la verdad es que sienten exactamente lo mismo que los hombres. Necesitan ejercitar sus facultades y el mismo margen de maniobra que sus hermanos varones, padecen cuando se las constrine y se la.. | Charlotte Brontë | ||

By him I'll be great emperor of the world, And make a bridge thorough the moving air, To pass the ocean with a band of men; I'll join the hills that bind the Afric shore, And make that country continent to Spain, And both contributory to my crown: The Emperor shall not live but by my leave, Nor any potentate of Germany. Now that I have obtain'd w.. | Christopher Marlowe | ||
