Elizabeth Gaskell
“[Charlotte Brontë] once told her sisters that they were wrong - even morally wrong - in making their heroines beautiful as a matter of course. They replied that it was impossible to make a heroine interesting on any other terms. Her answer was, 'I will prove to you that you are wrong; I will show you a heroine as plain and as small as myself, who shall be as interesting as any of yours.”
Elizabeth Gaskell, The Life of Charlotte Brontë

Elizabeth Gaskell
“A solitary life cherishes mere fancies until they become manias.”
Elizabeth Gaskell, The Life of Charlotte Brontë

Stendhal
“True love makes the thought of death frequent, easy, without terrors; it merely becomes the standard of comparison, the price one would pay for many things.”
Stendhal, On Love
tags: death, love

Ann Radcliffe
“Tremblingly alive to a sense of delight, and unchilled by disappointment, the young heart welcomes every feeling, not simply painful, with a romantic expectation that it will expand into bliss.”
Ann Radcliffe, A Sicilian Romance

Stendhal
“When one has just seen the woman one loves, the sight of every other woman damages the vision and physically hurts the eyes;”
Stendhal, Love
