“Then did I learn how existence could be cherished, Strengthened, and fed without the aid of joy.”

— Emily Brontë, "Remembrance", st. 6, 1846

About Emily Brontë

1818 – 1848

English novelist and poet, author of 'Wuthering Heights' (1847).

“I've dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas.”

“Shall Earth no more inspire thee, Thou lonely dreamer now?”

“The night is darkening round me, The wild winds coldly blow; But a tyrant spell has bound me And I cannot, cannot go.”

“Isn't it a pleasure to study and practice what you have learned?”

“Eating and reading are two pleasures that combine admirably.”

“Every blade of grass is a study; and to produce two, where there was but one, is both a profit and a pleasure.”

“The content of a book holds the power of education and it is with this power that we can shape our future and change lives.”

“The wisest man may be wiser to-day than he was yesterday, and to-morrow than he is to-day.”

“Love the little trade which thou hast learned, and be content therewith.”
