It does good to no woman to be flattered by her superior, who cannot possibly intend to marry her; and it is madness in all women to let a secret love kindle within them, which, if unreturned and unknown, must devour the life that feeds it; and, if discovered and responded to, must lead, ignis-fatuus-like, into miry wilds, whence there is no extrication.

— Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

@litlovers february-march book club pick ↳ little women by louisa may alcott

a year seems very long to wait before i see them, but remind them that while we wait we may all work, so that these hard days need not be wasted. i know they will remember all i said to them, that they will be loving children to you, will do their duty faithfully, fight their bosom enemies bravely, and conquer themselves so beautifully that when i come back to them i may be fonder and prouder than ever of my little women. (insp.)

RECENT READS: “Carmilla" by J. Sheridan LeFanu

“You must come with me, loving me, to death; or else hate me, and still come with me, and hating me through death and after. There is no such word as indifference in my apathetic nature.”

@fictionnet event 08: favourite book | @librarysource event 04: nostalgic reads → little women by louisa may alcott

be still, sad heart! and cease repining, behind the clouds is the sun still shining; thy fate is the common fate of all — into each life some rain must fall, some days must be dark and dreary.

"[...] his father and mother are human beings who share a love that he can never quite taste. it's a loss, an awakening to the fact that the world is there and here and we are in it alone."

LETO & JESSICA in FRANK HERBERT'S DUNE (1965)

for @declanphobe: happy birthday!

“no sight so sad as that of a naughty child," he began, "especially a naughty little girl. do you know where the wicked go after death?" "they go to hell," was my ready and orthodox answer. "and what is hell? can you tell me that?" "a pit full of fire." "and should you like to fall into that pit, and to be burning there for ever?" "no, sir." "what must you do to avoid it?" I deliberated a moment: my answer, when it did come was objectionable: "I must keep in good health and not die.”

“But it is not for that.”

“That will do to explain my secret, as well as the other. I've no more business to marry Edgar Linton than I have to be in heaven; and if the wicked man in there had not brought Heathcliff so low, I shouldn't have thought of it. It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff now; so he shall never know how I love him; and that, not because he's handsome, Nelly, but because he's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”

“But Heathcliff, if I dare you now, will you venture? If you do, I'll keep you. I'll not lie there by myself; they may bury me twelve feet deep and throw the church down over me; but I won't rest till you are with me ... I never will!”

“Where is she? Not there – not in heaven – not perished – where? Oh! you said you cared nothing for my sufferings! And I pray one prayer – I repeat it till my tongue stiffens – Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest, as long as I am living! You said I killed you – haunt me, then! The murdered do haunt their murderers. I believe – I know that ghosts have wandered on earth. Be with me always – take any form – drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!”

— Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

#litedit #classiclitedit #bookedit #emily bronte #bronteedit #wuthering heights #wutheringheightsedit #userveronika #*#i have had the vision for this edit for like 7 months and i can't believe it actually came out how i wanted it to #craziest scene of all crazy scenes #i feel like people don't ever connect the ''whatever our souls are made of'' bit to this even though it's what leads her to say that #which is crazy because she's comparing her feelings for heathcliff to her begging to have her soul cast out of heaven after death.#i don't know how they can be divorced #that he says the same thing when she dies #she's not in heaven #their souls are the same in that way #he can't live while she's dead she can't die while he's alive #like no one has ever been more hand in unlovable hand in all of life and literature lmao

Read in 2022 (3/?)

A Room With a View by E. M. Forster

“It isn't possible to love and part. You will wish that it was. You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. I know by experience that the poets are right: love is eternal.”
