Jane Eyre
by Charlotte Bronte
"To women who please me only by their faces, I am the very devil when I find out they have neither souls nor hearts - when they open to me a perspective of flatness, triviality, and perhaps imbecility, coarseness, and ill-temper: but to the clear eye and eloquent tongue, to the soul made of fire, and the character that bends but does not break - at once supple and stable, tractable and consistent - I am ever tender and true."
             ~Mr. Rochester

  2. I love Jane Eyre. It's one of my very, very favorite books. ^.^ We had a gorgeous little red and gold, hardback copy when I read it for the first time... So many good memories.
