Charlotte Brontë

Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Dinah Maria Mulock Craik

Dinah Maria Mulock Craik, A Life For A Life

Charlotte Brontë

Charlotte Brontë , Jane Eyre

William Shakespeare
“Men have died from time to time, and worms have eaten them, but not for love.”
William Shakespeare, As You Like It

Arthur Conan Doyle
“You have a grand gift for silence, Watson. It makes you quite invaluable as a companion.”
Arthur Conan Doyle, The Complete Sherlock Holmes
