“Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! - I have as much soul as you, - and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you!”
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

“I think you are wrong to want a heart. It makes most people unhappy. If you only knew it, you are in luck not to have a heart.”

“A simple life is not seeing how little we can get by with—that’s poverty—but how efficiently we can put first things first. . . .

― Victoria Moran, Lit From Within: Tending Your Soul For Lifelong Beauty

“The emotion that can break your heart is sometimes the very one that heals it...”
