“I have a strange feeling with regard to you. As if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly knotted to a similar string in you. And if you were to leave I’m afraid that cord of communion would snap. And I have a notion that I’d take to bleeding inwardly. As for you, you’d forget me.” #FearofAbandonment #ItsOff #Attachment

“And if I had loved him less I should have thought his accent and look of exultation savage; but...I thought only of the bliss given me to drink in so abundant a flow. Again and again he said, “are you happy, Jane?” And again and again I answered. “Yes” It will expiate at God’s tribunal. I know my Maker sanctions what I do. For the world’s judgement- I wash my hands thereof. For man’s opinion—I defy it.”

“Reader, I forgave him at the moment and on the spot. There was such deep remorse in his eye, such true pity in his tone, such manly energy in his manner; and besides, there was such unchanged love in his whole look and mien— I forgave him all: yet not in words, not outwardly; only at my heart’s core.” #iforgiveyou #i’mstillgoingtoleavetho #goodluckwithoutme

"The whole consciousness of my life lorn, my love lost, my hope quenched, my faith death-struck, swayed full and mighty above me in one sullen mass. That bitter hour cannot be described in truth, 'the waters came into my soul; I sank in deep mire: I felt no standing; I can into deep waters; the floods overflowed me."' (Bronte 278)

“ But the answer my mind gave- Leave Thornfield at once - was so prompt, so dread, that I stopped my ears. I said I could not bear such words now. That I am not Edward Rochester’s bride is the least part of my woe, I alleged: that I have wakened out of most glorious dreams, and found them all void and vain, is a horror I could bear and master; but that I must leave him decidedly, instantly, is intolerable.” (266) #leavehimandfindsomeoneelse. #loveiscomplicated

“And there is enchantment in the very hour I am now spending with you. Who can tell what a dark, dreary, hopeless life I have dragged on for months past? Doing nothing, expecting nothing; merging night in day; feeling but the sensation of cold when I let the fire go out, of hunger when I forgot to eat: and then a ceaseless sorrow, and, at times, a very delirium of desire to behold my Jane again. Yes: for her restoration I longed, far more than for that of my lost sight. How can it be that Jane is with me, and says she loves me? Will she not depart as suddenly as she came? To-morrow, I fear I shall find her no more.”

“gentle reader, may you never feel what I then felt! May your eyes never shed such stormy, heart-wrenching tears as poured from mine.

“I know not whether the day was fair or foul...I wanted to see the invisible thing on which, as we went along, he appeared to fasten a glance fierce and fell. I wanted to feel the thoughts whose force he seemed breasting and resisting” (Brontë 258). - Jane Eyre

"He is not to them what he is to me," I thought: "he is not of their kind. I believe he is of mine;—I am sure he is—I feel akin to him—I understand the language of his countenance and movements: though rank and wealth sever us widely, I have something in my brain and heart, in my blood and nerves, that assimilates me mentally to him … I must, then, repeat continually that we are for ever sundered:—and yet, while I breathe and think, I must love him" (Bronte 203). #jealousy #simping

"To tell me that I had already a wife is empty mockery; you know now that I had but a hideous demon. I was wrong to attempt to deceive you; but I feared a stubbornness that exists in your character…This was cowardly; I should have appealed to your nobleness and magnanimity at first…shown to you, not my resolution (that word is weak), but my resistless bent to love faithfully and well, where I am faithfully and well loved in return."

Jane:
“I was weeping wildly as I walked along my solitary way: fast, fast I went, like one delirious. A weakness, beginning inwardly, extending to the limbs, seized me, and I fell: I lay on the ground some minutes, pressing my face to the wet turf. I had some fear—or hope—that here I should die: but I was soon up; crawling forwards on my hands and knees, and then raised to my feet—as eager and as determined as ever to reach the road” (Bronte 288).

What it was, whether beast or human being, one could not, at first sight, tell: it grovelled, seemingly, on all fours; it snatched and growled like some strange wild animal: but it was covered with clothing, and a quantity of dark, grizzled hair, wild as a mane, hid its head and face. #stolemyman#unfair
