Charlotte Brontë
“Jane, be still; don't struggle so like a wild, frantic bird, that is rending its own plumage in its desperation."

Arthur Conan Doyle

Arthur Conan Doyle, The Complete Sherlock Holmes

Charlotte Brontë

Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

A.A. Milne

A.A. Milne, The House at Pooh Corner

Ralph Waldo Emerson
