“Si può guardare nel cuore di una persona attraverso i suoi occhi e si può arrivare a conoscere l’altezza, la larghezza e la profondità dell’anima di un altro in una sola ora, mentre non ti basterebbe una vita per scoprirle se la persona non fosse disposta a rivelarle o se tu non avessi la sensibilità necessaria a comprenderle.”

“Ogni romanzo è, o dovrebbe esser scritto affinché lo leggano uomini e donne, e non riesco proprio a immaginare come potrebbe un uomo permettersi di scrivere qualcosa di davvero vergognoso per una donna, o perché una donna dovrebbe essere censurata per aver scritto qualcosa di decoroso e appropriato per un uomo.”

Frasi sul mondo di Anne Brontë

“Cosa costituisce la virtù, signora Graham? La condizione di saper e voler resistere alla tentazione, o quella di non avere tentazioni a cui resistere? È forte quell'uomo che supera grandi ostacoli e ottiene sorprendenti risultati, seppure con un gran dispendio di energia muscolare e col rischio di un conseguente affaticamento, oppure chi se ne sta in poltrona tutto il giorno, con niente di più faticoso da fare che attizzare il fuoco e portare il cibo alla bocca? Se volete che vostro figlio avanzi a testa alta attraverso il mondo, non dovete cercare di togliere le pietre dal suo percorso, ma insegnargli a camminare saldamente sopra di esse, non insistere a guidarlo per mano, ma lasciare che impari ad andare da solo.”

Anne Brontë libro La signora di Wildfell Hall

Gilbert Markham: cap. III, Una controversia; 2014
La signora di Wildfell Hall

“Molto giusto ma, secondo il mio giudizio, ciò che il mondo stigmatizza come romantico è spesso più alleato della verità di quanto comunemente si pensi; perché se le generose idee della gioventù sono spesso rannuvolate dalle misere visioni degli anni a venire, non significa che siano false.”

“Ho idea che ci siano ben pochi uomini al mondo che mi piacerebbe sposare, e di questi pochi ci sono dieci probabilità contro una che io ne conosca mai nessuno. E nel caso, venti probabilità contro una che non sia celibe o che non si innamorerà mai di me.”

La signora di Wildfell Hall

“Non manderei una povera ragazza allo sbaraglio contro i propri nemici, ignara delle insidie disseminate sul suo cammino, né la difenderei e proteggerei finché, privata della stima e della fiducia in se stessa, perdesse il potere, o la volontà, di difendersi e proteggersi da sola; e per quanto riguarda mio figlio, se pensassi che da grande diventerà un uomo di mondo, come lo chiamate voi, uno che ha "vissuto" e si gloria della sua esperienza, anche se ne traesse profitto e, una volta messa la testa a posto, diventasse un utile e rispettabile membro della società, preferirei che morisse domani!”

Anne Brontë: Frasi in inglese

“I can't love it — what is there to love? It can't love me — or you either; it can't understand a single word you say to it, or feel one spark of gratitude for all your kindness. Wait till it can show some little affection for me, and then I'll see about loving it. At present it is nothing more than a little selfish, senseless sensualist, and if you see anything adorable in it, it's all very well — I only wonder how you can.”

“His idea of a wife is a thing to love one devotedly, and to stay at home — to wait upon her husband, and amuse him and minister to his comfort in every possible way, while he chooses to stay with her; and, when he is absent, to attend to his interests, domestic or otherwise, and patiently wait his return; no matter how he may be occupied in the meantime.”

“And, O! there lives within my heart
A hope long nursed by me,
(And should its cheering ray depart
How dark my soul would be)

That as in Adam all have died
In Christ shall all men live
And ever round his throne abide
Eternal praise to give;

That even the wicked shall at last
Be fitted for the skies
And when their dreadful doom is past
To life and light arise.”

“Keep both heart and hand in your own possession, till you see good reason to part with them; and if such an occasion should never present itself, comfort your mind with this reflection, that though in single life your joys may not be very many, your sorrows, at least, will not be more than you can bear. Marriage may change your circumstances for the better, but, in my private opinion, it is far more likely to produce a contrary result.”

“"Why," said I — "why should you suppose that I dislike the place?"
"You told me so yourself," was the decisive reply. "You said, at least, that you could not live contentedly, without a friend; and that you had no friend here, and no possibility of making one — and, besides, I know you must dislike it."”

“I know not whether, at the time, it was not for him rather than myself that I blushed; for, since he and I are one, I so identify myself with him, that I feel his degradation, his failings, and transgressions as my own; I blush for him, I fear for him; I repent for him, weep, pray, and feel for him as for myself; but I cannot act for him; and hence, I must be and I am, debased, contaminated by the union, both in my own eyes, and in the actual truth.”

“This paper will serve instead of a confidential friend into whose ear I might pour forth the overflowings of my heart. It will not sympathise with my distresses, but then it will not laugh at them, and, if I keep it close, it cannot tell again; so it is, perhaps, the best friend I could have for the purpose.”

"But it may grow so intolerably like its father that I shall hate it."

“If you loved as I do, she earnestly replied, you would not have so nearly lost me — these scruples of false delicacy and pride would never thus have troubled you — you would have seen that the greatest worldly distinctions and discrepancies of rank, birth, and fortune are as dust in the balance compared with the unity of accordant thoughts and feelings, and truly loving, sympathising hearts and souls.”

“Say does your heart expand to all mankind

And, when you, looking on your fellow men
Behold them doomed to endless misery,
How can you talk of joy and rapture then?
May God withhold such cruel joy from me!”

Origine: Agnes Grey (1847), Ch. XII : The Shower

“I have heard that, with some persons, temperance – that is, moderation – is almost impossible; and if abstinence be an evil (which some have doubted), no one will deny that excess is a greater. Some parents have entirely prohibited their children from tasting intoxicating liquors; but a parent’s authority cannot last for ever; children are naturally prone to hanker after forbidden things; and a child, in such a case, would be likely to have a strong curiosity to taste, and try the effect of what has been so lauded and enjoyed by others, so strictly forbidden to himself – which curiosity would generally be gratified on the first convenient opportunity; and the restraint once broken, serious consequences might ensue.”

“Enjoy the blessings Heaven bestows,
Assist his friends, forgive his foes;

Upright and firm, through good and ill;

Fixing his firmest hopes on heaven;
Knowing that earthly joys decay,
But hoping through the darkest day.”

Thousands excluded from that happiness,
Which they deserve at least as much as you,
Their faults not greater nor their virtues less?”
