"Num dos parque havia baloiços, mas, por causa das saias, que podiam ser levantadas pelo vento e depois alguém podia espreitar, não devíamos pensar em tomar a liberdade de os usar. Sós os rapazes podiam experimentar essa liberdade; só eles podiam mergulhar e subir; só eles podiam levantar voo.
Continuo a nunca ter estado num baloiço. Continua a ser um dos meus desejos."

"(...) e foi assim que travámos conhecimento com o homem que fazia caixões, que também era médico. O povo ga acredita que um caixão deve refletir a vida da pessoa que vai a enterrar. Portanto um caixão de um pescador pode ter a forma de um peixe e o de um carpinteiro a de um martelo, ou, no caso de uma mulher que goste muito de sapatos, a forma de um sapato. Chegam a ser extremamente elaborados."

Não havia expressão em yoruba equivalente a adoro-te. «Se amas alguém tens de demonstrá-lo», gostava o seu pai de dizer.

«Uma rapariga com carácter tão altivo seria capaz de se esquecer a si própria até esse ponto... Apertar-lhe o braço o jardim, uma noite, que horror! Como se não tivesse cem meios menos indecentes para lhe dar a conhecer que o distinguia»

Dar rendimento é a finalidade que decide tudo nesta pequena cidade que vos parece tão bonita. O estrangeiro que chega, seduzido pela beleza dos frescos e profundos vales que a rodeiam, julga primeiro que os os seus habitantes são sensíveis ao belo; falam continuamente da beleza da sua terra: não se pode dizer que não façam caso dela; (cont.)

- Gosto da sombra - respondeu o senhor de Rênal (...) - gosto da sombra e mando cortar as minhas árvores para que dêem sombra; não concebo que uma árvore seja feita para outra coisa quando, ao contrário da útil nogueira, não dá rendimento.
Eis as palavras mágicas que em Verrièrres tudo decidem: dar rendimento; por si só representam o pensamento habitual de três quartas partes dos seus habitantes.

"Quanto a mim só tenho uma coisa a dizer da Alameda da Fidelidade; [...] Em lugar de copas baixas e redondas, que os assemelham a banais árvores de pomar, bem desejariam eles ter o porte magnífico que se lhes vê em Inglaterra. Mas todas as árvores pertencentes à comuna são impiedosamente amputadas."

"(...) and it is narrow-minded in their more priviledged fellow-creatures to say that they ought to confine themselves to making puddings and knitting stockings, to playing on the piano and embroidering bags. It is thoughtless to condemn them, or laugh at them, if they seek to do more or learn more than custom has pronounced necessary for their sex."

"— that then I desired more of practical experience than I possessed; more of intercourse with my kind, of acquaintance with variety of character, than was here within my reach. I valued what was good in Mrs. Fairfax, and what was good in Adele; but I believed in the existence of other and more vivid kinds of goodness, and what I believed in I wished to behold."

"(...) I climbed the three staircases, raised the trap-door of the attic, and having reached the leads, looked out afar over sequestered field and hill, and along dim sky-line — that then I longed for a power of vision which might overpass that limit; which might reach the busy world, towns, regions full of life I had heard of but never seen"

“If people were always kind and obedient to those who are cruel and injust, the wicked people would have it all their own way: they will never be afraid, and so they would never alter, but would grow worse and worse. When we are struck at without a reason we should strike back again very hard; I am sure we should - so hard as to teach the person who struck us never to do it again.”

"Something of vengeance I had tasted for the first time; as aromatic wine it seemed, on swallowing, warm and racy: its after-flavour, metallic and corroding, gave me a sensation as if I had been poisoned."

‘Oh, dear papa, how quiet and plain all the girls at Lowood look, with their hair combed behind their ears, and their long pinafores, and those little holland pockets outside their frocks—they are almost like poor people’s children! and,’ said she, ‘they looked at my dress and mama’s, as if they had
never seen a silk gown before.’”

“Humility is a Christian grace, and one peculiarly appropriate to the pupils of Lowood; I, therefore, direct that especial care shall be bestowed on its cultivation amongst them. I have studied how best to mortify in them the
worldly sentiment of pride; and, only the other day, I had a pleasing proof of my success. My second daughter, Augusta, went with her mama to visit the school, and on her return she exclaimed:

"It puzzles me now to remember with what absurd sincerity I doated on this little toy, half fancying it alive and capable of sensation. I could not sleep unless it was folded in my night-gown; and when it lay there safe and warm, I was comparatively happy, believing it to be happy likewise."

"- Poor Miss Jane is to be pitied, too, Abbot.
- Yes, - responded Abbot -; if she were a nice, pretty child, one might compassionate her forlornness; but one really cannot care for such a little toad as that.
- Not a great deal, to be sure - agreed Bessie. - At any rate, a beauty like Miss Georgiana would be more moving in the same condition."

"They were not bound to regard with affection a thing that could not sympathise with one amongst them; a heterogeneous thing, opposed to them in temperament, in capacity, in propensities; a useless thing, incapable of serving their interest, or adding to their pleasure; a noxious thing, cherishing the germs of indignation at their treatment, of contempt of their judgment."
