Divine justice pursued its course; disasters came thick on me: I was forced to pass through the valley of the shadow of death. His chastisements are mighty; and one smote me which has humbled me for ever. You know I was proud of my strength: but what is it now, when I must give it over to foreign guidance, as a child does its weakness? Of late, Jane - only - only of late - I began to see and acknowledge the hand of God in my doom. I began to experience remorse, repentance; the wish for reconcilement to my Maker. I began to pray: very brief prayers they were, but very sincere. ~ Charlotte Bronte
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Charlotte Bronte
[O]ur honeymoon will shine our life long: its beams will only fade over your grave or mine. ~ Charlotte Bronte
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Charlotte Bronte
Adele took her place in front of the audience and began to sing.
"Miss Eyre, perhaps you can tell me what he's saying?" Mrs. Fairfax said. "The only other person in the house who speaks French is the master, and he hates to translate anymore."
Jane glanced at Mr. Rochester, but he stared straight ahead.
Jane listened to the song. "The first few lines are about a famous dancer ... in a club ... She wore flowers in her hair and a dress that ... oh." Adele sang in detail about how much the dress covered. Or didn't cover.
Jane blushed and glanced at Mr. Rochester, searching for a reaction to the scandalous lyrics. But he just listened. Not scandalized.
"So, yes, the dancer wore a dress," Jane continued, with slightly less detail. "And she was in love with a ... dealer. Of cards. And at night, they ... oh my."
Adele sang of a very special hug.
Jane's cheeks flamed. "Perhaps Mr. Rochester should translate."
She turned to Mr. Rochester, who coughed. He waved his hand. "Please continue, Miss Eyre. You're doing such a fine job."
Now Adele sang of the woman's roving eye, and another man visiting while her lover was away.
"They continued to love each other," Jane said quickly, maybe a bit desperately.
In the last verse, the boyfriend found out about her infidelity, and stabbed the dancer and her other lover.
"That escalated quickly," said Helen. She also spoke French, but no one had asked her to translate.
"And they both l ~ Cynthia Hand
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Cynthia Hand
Listen, then, Jane Eyre, to your sentence: tomorrow, place the glass before you, and draw in chalk your own picture, faithfully, without softening one defect; omit no harsh line, smooth away no displeasing irregularity; write under it, 'Portrait of a Governess, disconnected, poor, and plain.'

"Afterwards, take a piece of smooth ivory--you have one prepared in your drawing-box: take your palette, mix your freshest, finest, clearest tints; choose your most delicate camel-hair pencils; delineate carefully the loveliest face you can imagine; paint it in your softest shades and sweetest lines, according to the description given by Mrs. Fairfax of Blanche Ingram; remember the raven ringlets, the oriental eye;--What! you revert to Mr. Rochester as a model! Order! No snivel!--no sentiment!--no regret! I will endure only sense and resolution. Recall the august yet harmonious lineaments, the Grecian neck and bust; let the round and dazzling arm be visible, and the delicate hand; omit neither diamond ring nor gold bracelet; portray faithfully the attire, aerial lace and glistening satin, graceful scarf and golden rose; call it 'Blanche, an accomplished lady of rank. ~ Charlotte Bronte
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Charlotte Bronte
intriguing, not standard Hollywood stuff. He was not a street kid who'd had to claw his way to respectability. His reasonably well-to-do family's roots traced back to George Washington's mother, and he was always proud of the fact that he was distantly related to "one of the founders of our country." Bill was Irish-English-German, "mixed in an American shaker," as he liked to say. His maternal grandfather was a cousin of Warren G. Harding, twenty-ninth president of the United States. Bill had been born William Franklin Beedle Jr. in O'Fallon, Illinois, on April 17, 1918. When he was three, the family moved to Pasadena, California. His father, William, was an industrial chemist; his mother, Mary, a teacher. He had two younger brothers, Robert (Bob) Westfield Beedle, and Richard (Dick Porter) Beedle. ~ Edward Z. Epstein
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward Z. Epstein
You're in a straight line, buddy-boy, and it doesn't lead anywhere ... except maybe the grave. ~ Edward Albee
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward Albee
I named all my sons George Edward Foreman. And I tell people, 'If you're going to get hit as many times as I've been hit by Mohammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, Evander Holyfield - you're not going to remember many names.' ~ George Foreman
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by George Foreman
Who can now deny the loss of natural light, of skin tones, of real place, and common but precious things in our movies, to be replaced by the gorgeous imagery of things that have never been and never will be? The most special effect in movies is always the human face when its mind is being changed. ~ Edward Jay Epstein
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward Jay Epstein
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. ~ John Emerich Edward Dalberg-Acton
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by John Emerich Edward Dalberg-Acton
Where Nature's end of language is declin'd, And men talk only to conceal the mind. ~ Edward Young
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward Young
We always used to think it didn't matter, that when you mined out one area, or farmed it out, or overgrazed it, you could move to new country beyond the hills, keep moving West. But there are no new places to go anymore. The land is full. We have to stay where we are, take care of what we have. There isn't going to be anything else. ~ Edward Abbey
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward Abbey
The Church has its problems, but the older I get, the more comfort I find there. ~ Edward De Bono
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward De Bono
Too low they build, who build beneath the stars. ~ Edward Young
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward Young
Human beings appear to be sufficiently selfish and calculating to be capable of indefinitely greater harmony and social homeostasis. This statement is not self-contradictory. True selfishness, if obedient to the other constraints of mammalian biology, is the key to a more nearly perfect social contract. - pg. 157 ~ Edward O. Wilson
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward O. Wilson
To develop thinking as a skill, it should be deliberate, focused, confident, and enjoyable. ~ Edward De Bono
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward De Bono
It does not matter how badly you paint so long as you don't paint badly like other people. ~ George Edward Moore
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by George Edward Moore
The obscure we see eventually. The completely obvious, it seems, takes longer. ~ Edward R. Murrow
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward R. Murrow
Make no mistake about it! There is an organized movement against organized labor and it's called the Bush Administration. ~ Edward Kennedy
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward Kennedy
Many of the proofs in mathematics are very long and intricate. Others, though not long, are very ingeniously constructed. ~ Edward Charles Titchmarsh
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward Charles Titchmarsh
No scientific subject has ever aroused quite the same mixture of hopes and fears [as atomic energy]. ~ Edward Victor Appleton
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward Victor Appleton
This ploughman dead in battle slept out of doors
Many a frozen night, and merrily
Answered staid drinkers, good bedmen, and all bores:
"At Mrs Greenland's Hawthorn Bush," said he,
"I slept." None knew which bush. Above the town,
Beyond `The Drover', a hundred spot the down
In Wiltshire. And where now at last he sleeps
More sound in France -that, too, he secret keeps. ~ Edward Thomas
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward Thomas
Edward in the sunlight was shocking. I couldn't get used to it, though I'd been staring at him all afternoon. His skin, white despite the faint flush from yesterday's hunting trip, literally sparkled, like thousands of tiny diamonds were embedded in the surface. ~ Stephenie Meyer
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Stephenie Meyer
Some go to Church, proud humbly to repent, And come back much more guilty than they went: One way they look, another way they steer, Pray to the Gods; but would have Mortals hear; And when their sins they set sincerely down, They'll find that their Religion has been one. ~ Edward Young
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward Young
The speculative part of my work is that these particular cognitive tasks - ways of thinking analytically - are tied to nature's laws. ~ Edward Tufte
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward Tufte
Anarchism is founded on the observation that since few men are wise enough to rule themselves, even fewer are wise enough to rule others. ~ Edward Abbey
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward Abbey
Read nature; nature is a friend to truth. ~ Edward Young
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward Young
I am almost thanking God that I was never educated, for it seems to me that 999 of those who are so, expensively and laboriously, have lost all before they arrive at my age-& remain like Swift's Stulbruggs-cut and dry for life, making no use of their earlier-gained treasures:-whereas, I seem to be on the threshold of knowledge. ~ Edward Lear
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward Lear
The author himself is the best judge of his own performance; none has so deeply meditated on the subject; none is so sincerely interested in the event. ~ Edward Gibbon
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward Gibbon
The terms of poetry - some simple, some complicated, some ancient, some new - should bring us closer to what we're hearing, enlarging our experience of it, enabling us to describe what we're reading, to feel and think with greater precision. ~ Edward Hirsch
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward Hirsch
If to a poet a physicist may speak
Freely, as though we shared a common tongue,
For "peace in our time" I should hardly seek
By means that once proved wrong.
It seems the Muscovite
Has quite a healthy, growing appetite.
We can't be safe; at least we can be right.
Some bombs may help - perhaps a bomb-proof cellar,
But surely not the Chamberlain umbrella.
The atom is now big; the world is small.
Unfortunately, we have conquered space.
If war does come, it comes to all,
To every distant place.
Will people have the dash
That Britons had when their world seemed to crash
Before a small man with a small mustache?
You rhyme the atoms to amuse and charm us -
Your counsel should inspire, and not disarm us.

(Teller's reply to an anonymous British man's poem/message (that Americans are too belligerent), both in the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists). ~ Edward Teller
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward Teller
Everybody likes to get as much power as circumstances allow, and nobody will vote for a self-denying ordinance. ~ John Emerich Edward Dalberg-Acton
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by John Emerich Edward Dalberg-Acton
Live beyond your means, then you're forced to work hard, you have to succeed. ~ Edward G. Robinson
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward G. Robinson
Chiapas is probably the main concern I have right now for the planet. ~ Edward James Olmos
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward James Olmos
-Poor Jerry. He's giving all of himself to something he's got to loose.
-So does everybody...sooner or later.
-Freeze on that.
-On what?
-On all that heavy philosophy bullshit. I'm talking about here and now and everyday important things that people live by. If you extrapolate everything-nothing matters. ~ Edward Bunker
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward Bunker
On the matter of time -- we've run out! ~ Val Edward Simone
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Val Edward Simone
The separation of church and state can sometimes be frustrating for women and men of religious faith. They may be tempted to misuse government in order to impose a value which they cannot persuade others to accept. But once we succumb to that temptation, we step onto a slippery slope where everyone's freedom is at risk. ~ Edward Kennedy
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward Kennedy
'Northern Exposure.' I loved that show; I loved the way it was able to have episodes where somebody finds a woolly mammoth, he calls the museum in New York, they send a guy out, and the mammoth's gone because someone ate it. To me, that was everything I ever wanted to do. That show mixed emotion, humor and the surreal all at once. ~ Edward Kitsis
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward Kitsis
Suck on this, Edward. ~ Dani Smith
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Dani Smith
I am going to frame that note in the Husband Hall of Fame."

Natalie, in Golan! ~ Edward Eliyahu Truitt
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward Eliyahu Truitt
I never studied much at Howard, but at Boston University, I didn't do much else but study. ~ Edward Brooke
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward Brooke
The past record of man is burdened with accounts of assasinations, secret combines, palace plots and betrayals in war. But in spite of this clear record, an amazing number of people have begun to scoff at the possibility of conspiracy at work today. They dismiss such an idea merely a conspiratorial point of view. ~ G. Edward Griffin
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by G. Edward Griffin
All things being equal (fortunately things are seldom equal, not exactly), people prefer to be with others who look like them, speak the same dialect, and hold the same beliefs. An amplification of this evidently inborn predisposition leads with frightening ease to racism and religious bigotry. Then, also with frightening ease, good people do bad things. I know this truth from experience, having grown up in the Deep South during the 1930s ~ Edward O. Wilson
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward O. Wilson
I'm a pretty average guy and want to keep a low profile. I don't want the world necessarily to know about me. ~ Edward Whitacre, Jr.
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward Whitacre, Jr.
In the Dodge City of romantic love, crowded with betrayal, abandonment and rejection, it was better to fire first than to take the risk of being gunned down. ~ Edward St. Aubyn
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward St. Aubyn
she is dream of tears of stone
of dark meroë water lapping at the centre of the world… ~ Edward Kamau Brathwaite
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward Kamau Brathwaite
In one of the Welsh counties is a small village called A
. It is somewhat removed from the high road, and is, therefore, but little known to those luxurious amateurs of the picturesque, who view nature through the windows of a carriage and four. ~ Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
Preaching Christianity to skeptics without first setting out the praeambula fidei [preambles of faith], and then complaining when they don't accept it, is like yelling in English at someone who only speaks Chinese, and then dismissing him as a fool when he doesn't understand you. In both cases, while there is certainly a fool in the picture, it isn't the listener. ~ Edward Feser
Edward Fairfax Rochester quotes by Edward Feser
