Returning, I had to cross before the looking-glass; my fascinated glance involuntarily
explored the depth it revealed. All looked colder and darker in that visionary hollow
than in reality: ... the strange little figure there gazing at me, with a white face and arms
specking the gloom, and glittering eyes of fear moving where all else was still, had the
effect of a real spirit. - ✔✔•Location: Chapter 2
•Speaker: Jane Eyre
I shook my head: I could not see how poor people had the means of being kind; and
then to learn to speak like them, to adopt their manners, to be uneducated, to grow up
like one of the poor women I saw sometimes nursing their children or washing their
clothes at the cottage doors of the village of Gateshead: no, I was not heroic enough to
purchase liberty at the price of caste. - ✔✔•Location: Chapter 3

,Ere I had finished this reply, my soul began to expand, to exult, with the strangest sense
of freedom, of triumph, I ever felt. It seemed as if an invisible bond had burst, and that I
had struggled out into unhoped-for liberty. - ✔✔•Location: Chapter 4
•Speaker: Jane Eyre
I hold another creed: ... it makes Eternity a rest—a mighty home, not a terror and an
abyss. ... with this creed revenge never worries my heart, degradation never too deeply
disgusts me, injustice never crushes me too low: I live in calm, looking to the end. -

•Speaker: Helen Burns
I resolved, in the depth of my heart, that I would be most moderate ... I told her all the
story of my sad childhood. Exhausted by emotion, my language was more subdued
than it generally was when it developed that sad theme; and mindful of Helen's
warnings against the indulgence of resentment, I infused into the narrative far less of
gall and wormwood than ordinary. Thus restrained and simplified, it sounded more
credible: I felt as I went on that Miss Temple fully believed me. - ✔✔•Location: Chapter

, The refreshing meal, the brilliant fire, the presence and kindness of her beloved
instructress, or, perhaps, more than all these, something in her own unique mind, had
roused her powers within her ... [Helen] suddenly acquired a beauty more singular than
that of Miss Temple's—a beauty neither of fine color nor long eyelash, nor pencilled
brow, but of meaning, of movement, of radiance. - ✔✔•Location: Chapter 8

I tired of the routine of eight years in one afternoon. I desired liberty; for liberty I
gasped; for liberty I uttered a prayer; it seemed scattered on the wind then faintly
blowing. I abandoned it and framed a humbler supplication; for change, stimulus: that
petition, too, seemed swept off into vague space: "Then," I cried, half desperate, "grant
me at least a new servitude!" - ✔✔•Location: Chapter 10
•Speaker: Jane Eyre
While I paced softly on, the last sound I expected to hear in so still a region, a laugh,
struck my ear. It was a curious laugh; distinct, formal, mirthless. I stopped: the sound
ceased, only for an instant; it began again, louder: for at first, though distinct, it was
very low. It passed off in a clamorous peal that seemed to wake an echo in every lonely
chamber; though it originated but in one, and I could have pointed out the door whence
the accents issued. - ✔✔•Location: Chapter 11
