"Oh! my darling! God bless you and reward you!"
"Mr. Rochester, if ever I did a good deed in my life -- if ever I
thought a good thought -- if ever I prayed a sincere and blameless
prayer -- if ever I wished a righteous wish, -- I am rewarded now.
To be your wife is, for me, to be as happy as I can be on earth."
"Because you delight in sacrifice."
"Sacrifice! What do I sacrifice? Famine for food, expectation
for content. To be privileged to put my arms round what I value
-- to press my lips to what I love -- to repose on what I trust:
is that to make a sacrifice? If so, then certainly I delight in
sacrifice."
