“What do you know of my heart? What do you know of anything but your own suffering. For weeks, Marianne, I've had this pressing on me without being at liberty to speak of it to a single creature. It was forced on me by the very person whose prior claims ruined all my hope. I have endured her exultations again and again whilst knowing myself to be divided from Edward forever.

And if God had given me as much beauty and wealth,
I would make it as hard for you to leave me as it is now for me to leave you.”
― Jane Eyre
