Here are some quotes from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte:
- "I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will."
- "I would always rather be happy than dignified."
- "I am not an angel,' I asserted; 'and I will not be one till I die: I will be myself."
- "I am not a machine; I feel and believe."
- "I am not talking of painting now. I am talking of the efforts required for perfect representation in language—efforts analogous to those of the sculptor, who has to unblock a statue out of a marble block."
Is there anything else you would like me to help you with?
