Branwell Quotes

“He was the one who'd come back to life not fifteen minutes ago. Whenever he got sick at home, Aunt Elizabeth and Tabitha made a tremendous fuss with hot water bottles and tinctures and sweets and kisses. It only stood to reason that they should all make an extra-tremendous fuss now. After all, when you rose from the grave in England, people tended to make whole religions out of you.”
― Catherynne M. Valente, The Glass Town Game

“I was born a girl in a world of Branwells, but I shall be more than I am meant.”
― Catherynne M. Valente, The Glass Town Game

“He’d write a character for himself. His character would be tall, much taller than he is now. And his sisters would recognize him as dashing. He’d have personal freedom, his own, a way to escape, to escape from them all.”
― Douglas A. Martin, Branwell: A Novel of the Brontë Brother
