Charlotte-bronte Quote by Charlotte Brontë
““This night is not calm; the equinox still struggles in its storms. The wild rains of the day are abated; the great single cloud disparts and rolls away from heaven, not passing and leaving a sea all sapphire, but tossed buoyant before a continued, long-sounding, high-rushing moonlight tempest. The Moon reigns glorious, glad of the gale, as glad as if she gave herself to his fierce caress with love. No Endymion will watch for his goddess tonight. there are no flocks out on the mountains; and it is well, for to-night she welcomes Aeolus.””

They replied that it was impossible to make a heroine interesting on any other terms. Her answer was, 'I will prove to you that you are wrong; I will show…” quote by Elizabeth Gaskell](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/831/elizabeth-gaskell-894_bronte-sisters_charlotte-bront-once-told-her-sisters-th_1552010.jpg)
