Jane Eyre

Why have I never read this book before? It was fabulous. Plus Mr. Rochester's name is Edward. I think Toby Stephens makes a perfect Mr. Rochester, and I can almost see the resemblance between him and Mr. Cullen himself:



(on an unrelated note, I don't want to read Breaking Dawn because I'm afraid of the outcome)


Back to Jane Eyre, I had to share a few of my favorite quotes. I love quotes- I use them when I scrapbook and my purse is filled with random scraps of paper that have quotes I've heard and liked on them.

"Yet, while I breathe and think, I must love him."

"Men and women die; philosophers falter in wisdom, and Christians in goodness: if anyone you know has suffered and erred, let him look higher than his equals for strength to ammend and solace to heal."

"Every nerve I have is unstrung--for a moment I am beyond my own mastery. I did not think I should tremble in this way when I saw him, or lose my voice or the power of motion in his presence."


"It is as if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly and inextricably knotted to a similar string situated in the corresponding quarter of your little frame. And if that boisterous Channel, and two hundred miles of land come broad between us, I am afraid that cord of communication would be snapt; and then I've a nervous notion that I should take to bleeding inwardly."


"I loved him very much, more than I could trust myself to say--more than words had power to express."


"Never may you, gentle reader, like me, dread to be the instrument of evil to what you wholly love."


"In his presence I thoroughly lived, and he lived in mine."

sigh. sorry for the cheesy quotes. . . but this is such a great book. highly recommended.
