“Jane, be still; don't struggle so like a wild, frantic bird, that is rending its own plumage in its desperation."
"I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being, with an independent will; which I now exert to leave you.”
― Charlotte Brontë , Jane Eyre

“A good book is an event in my life.”
― Stendhal, The Red and the Black

“Literature is the most agreeable way of ignoring life.”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
