Quotation from: Jane Eyre

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


"Indeed! I considered it a very natural and necessary one: he
had talked of his future wife dying with him. What did he mean
by such a pagan idea? I had no intention of dying with him -- he
might depend on that."


"Oh, all he longed, all he prayed for, was that I might live with
him! Death was not for such as I."


"Indeed it was: I had as good a right to die when my time came as
he had: but I should bide that time, and not be hurried away in
a suttee."
