“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

“But your good opinion is rarely bestowed and therefore more worth the earning.”
― Jane Austen

“I thought it was all over with me, and there was nothing to try for–only things to endure.”
― George Eliot, Middlemarch: A Study of Provincial Life

“I have not broken your heart - you have broken it - and in breaking it, you have broken mine ... I forgive what you have done to me. I love my murderer - but yours! How can I?”
― Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights
