Quotes

Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilised by education: they grow there, firm as weeds among stones. ~ Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte A Christmas frost had come at midsummer; a white December storm had whirled over June; ice glazed the ripe apples, drifts crushed the blowing roses; on hayfield and cornfield lay a frozen shroud: lanes which last night blushed full of flowers, to-day were pathless with untrodden snow; and the woods, which twelve hours since waved leafy and flagrant as groves between the tropics, now spread, waste, wild, and white as pine-forests in wintry Norway. ~ Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte "If all the world hated you, and believed you wicked, while your own conscience approved you, and absolved you from guilt, you would not be without friends." ~ Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte 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. ~ Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte "Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun." ~ Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare "O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name!
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet." ~ Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare "These violent delights have violent ends." ~ Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare "What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet." ~ Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare "But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?
It is the East, and Juliet is the sun!
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
who is already sick and pale with grief
That thou her maid art far more fair than she." ~ Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare "Good night, good night! parting is such sweet sorrow,
That I shall say good night till it be morrow." ~ Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
