favorite classics:
Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte
"Mr. Rochester: Sometimes I have the strangest feeling about you. Especially when you are near me as you are now. It feels as though I had a string tied here under my left rib where my heart is, tightly knotted to you in a similar fashion. And when you go to Ireland, with all that distance between us, I am afraid that this cord will be snapped, and I shall bleed inwardly."
Villette - Charlotte Bronte
"No mockery in this world ever sounds to me so hollow as that of being told to cultivate happiness. What does such advice mean? Happiness is not a potato."
Ruth - Elizabeth Gaskell
Wives and Daughters - Elizabeth Gaskell
