“I loved him very much - more than I could trust myself to say - more than words had power to express."- Jane Eyre”

“I turned my lips to the hand that lay on my shoulder. I loved him very much - more than I could trust myself to say - more than words had power to express”

“I know more than I can express in words, and the little I can express would not have been expressed, had I not known more.”

“That a greater fool than Jane Eyre had never breathed the breath of life; that a more fantastic idiot had never surfeited herself on sweet lies, and swallowed poison as if it were nectar.”

“But I think we both knew, even then, that what we had was something even more rare, and even more meaningful. I was going to be his friend, and was going to show him possibilities. And he, in turn, would become someone I could trust more than myself.”

“Now I was more certain than ever of my decision. I could not love a man who did not love Jane Austen.”
