Teaser Tuesday (6)

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Should Be Reading.
 

From page 161 (of my copy) of Jane Eyre
by Charlotte Bronte

*Beware of the run-on sentence! :P

"My world had for some years been in Lowood: my experience had been of its rules and systems; now I remembered that the real world was wide, and that a varied field of hopes and fears, of sensations and excitements, awaited those who had courage to go forth into its expanse, to seek real knowledge of life amidst its perils."
 
*Note: This book is so beautifully written. I'm loving it so far! <3

  5. LOL, run-on sentences remind me of that dolphin book. ANYWAY. This quote reminds me of Wuthering Heights. But you haven't read it. I think. Anyway, it does sound like something I'm capable of reading!! LOLOL
