another quote:
Besides, I seemed to hold two lives – the life of thought, and that of reality; and, provided the former was nourished with a sufficiency of the strange necromantic joys of fancy, the privileges of the latter might remain limited to daily bread, hourly work, and a roof of shelter. -page 76

quotes:
I shrank into my sloth like a snail into its shell, and alleged incapacity and impracticability as a pretext to escape action. -page 76

okaaaayyyy we’re finally beginning her adventure in villette!! AND we meet paul - kind of ;)

i actually love that charlotte bronte has essentially bent space and time through her writing as she talks directly to me from 173 years ago!

finally the story begins! also love that she is always speaking to the reader. i feel so involved in it. 173 years later, charlotte brontë is talking directly to me!!

when will this paulina leave the story i’m getting annoyed with all this talk about her sorry
