Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilised by education: they grow there, firm as weeds among stones.

"All men must die," said a voice quite close at hand; "but all are not condemned to meet a lingering and premature doom, such as yours would be if you perished here of want."
Mr St John is a oddly interesting man!

The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself. I will keep the law given by God; sanctioned by man. I will hold to the principles received by me when I was sane, & not mad—as I am now. Laws & principles are not for the times when there is no temptation: they are for such moments as this, when body & soul rise in mutiny against their rigour; stringent are they.

The wisdom of Jane is amazing to behold. Though she had to wealth, status, or protection, she chose to honor herself and her heart. I admire her deeply.

"Just at my bedside, the figure stopped: the fiery eyes glared upon me—she thrust up her candle close to my face, and extinguished it under my eyes. I was aware her lurid visage flamed over mine, and I lost consciousness: for the second time in my life—only the second time —I became insensible from terror."
Listening to this made me feel so creeped out. She could have just as easily been killed by Bertha.

"What love have I for Miss Ingram? None: and that you know. What love has she for me? None: as I have taken pains to prove: I caused a rumour to reach her that my fortune was not a third of what was supposed, and after that I presented myself to see the result; it was coldness both from her and her mother."
Very clever scheme

Eliza and Georgiana
Those two have got to be the most selfish and unloving siblings I've ever read about. My goodness. Their relationship is appalling.

I am positively horrified by Mr. Brocklehurst. He is a.w.e.f.u.l.!!!!!!
When he had little Julia Severns hair cut off because it was curly?? He needs a good taser in the buttocks.
