Quotation from: Jane Eyre

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


"Mental terrors, sir! I wish I could believe them to be only such:
I wish it more now than ever; since even you cannot explain to me
the mystery of that awful visitant."


"And since I cannot do it, Jane, it must have been unreal."


"But, sir, when I said so to myself on rising this morning, and
when I looked round the room to gather courage and comfort from the
cheerful aspect of each familiar object in full daylight, there --
on the carpet -- I saw what gave the distinct lie to my hypothesis,
-- the veil, torn from top to bottom in two halves!"
