Emily Bronte
» Charity » “Having leveled my palace, don’t erect a hovel and complacently admire your own charity in giving me that for a home.”
» Creeds » “Vain are the thousand creeds that move men’s hearts, unutterably vain; Worthless as withered weeds, or idlest froth amid the boundless main.”
» Death and Dying » “Any relic of the dead is precious, if they were valued living.”
» Dreams » “I have dreamed in my life, dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they have gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind.”
» Faith » “I see heaven’s glories shine and faith shines equal…”
» Goodness » “A good heart will help you to a bonny face, my lad and a bad one will turn the bonniest into something worse than ugly.”
» Pride » “Proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves.”
» Society » “I am now quite cured of seeking pleasure in society, be it country or town. A sensible man ought to find sufficient company in himself.”
» Tyranny » “The tyrant grinds down his slaves and they don’t turn against him, they crush those beneath them.”
» Work » “A person who has not done one half his day’s work by ten o clock, runs a chance of leaving the other half undone.”
