Charlotte Bronte Feelings Quotations

I have a strange feeling with regard to you. As if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly knotted to a similar string in you. And if you were to leave I'm afraid that cord of communion would snap. And I have a notion that I'd take to bleeding inwardly. As for you, you'd forget me.

True enthusiasm is a fine feeling whose flash I admire where-ever I see it.

There is no happiness like that of being loved by your fellow creatures, and feeling that your presence is an addition to their comfort.

Feeling without judgment is a washy draught indeed; but judgment untempered by feeling is too bitter and husky a morsel for human deglutition.
