I am no bird;

If Jane Eyre wasn’t quite so gothic and was inspired by someone who wasn’t the era’s epitome of a beautiful woman. Let women who aren’t white be beautiful, romantic and sweet. 🌸

Mia Wasikowska as Jane Eyre (dir. Cary Joji Fukunaga)

Good night! Good night, my darling!

I will not be married at all if you force me into that ridiculous carriage.

JANE EYRE (2011) DIR. CARY FUKUNAGA

am I a machine with out feelings? do you think that because I am poor, plain, obscure, and little that I am souless and heartless? I have as much soul as you and full as much heart. and if God had possessed me with beauty and wealth, I could make it as hard for you to leave me as I to leave you… I’m not speaking to you through mortal flesh. it is my spirit that addresses your spirit, as it passes throguh the grave and stood at God’s feet equal. as we are. jane eyre (2011) dir. cary joji fukunaga

Am I a machine with out feelings? Do you think that because I am poor, plain, obscure, and little that I am souless and heartless? I have as much soul as you and full as much heart. And if God had possessed me with beauty and wealth, I could make it as hard for you to leave me as I to leave you I’m not speaking to you through mortal flesh. It is my spirit that addresses your spirit, as it passes throguh the grave and stood at God’s feet equal. As we are.

“ Jane, you must stay. ” “ And become nothing to you? ”

“i knew you would do me good in some way. i saw it in your eyes when i first beheld you. their expression did not strike my very inmost being so for nothing”

“Because, he said, “I sometimes have a queer feeling with regard to you - especially when you are near me, as now: it is as if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly and inextricably knotted to a similar string situated in the corresponding quarter of your little frame. And if that boisterous channel, and two hundred miles or so of land some broad between us, I am afraid that cord of communion will be snapt and then I’ve a nervous notion I should take to bleeding inwardly. As for you, - you’d forget me.” ― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
