    Charlotte Brontë
    “No mockery in this world ever sounds to me so hollow as that of being told to cultivate happiness. What does such advice mean?

She is a divine dew which the soul, on certain of its summer mornings, feels dropping upon it from the amaranth bloom and golden fruitage of Paradise.”
