Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


"Mademoiselle, neither titles nor crowned heads excite my modesty; and
publicity is very much my element. I like it well, and breathe in it
quite freely;--but--but, in short, here is the sentiment brought into
action, at this very moment; however, I disdain to be worsted by it.
If, Mademoiselle, I were a marrying man (which I am not; and you may
spare yourself the trouble of any sneer you may be contemplating at
the thought), and found it necessary to ask a lady whether she could
look upon me in the light of a future husband, then would it be proved
that I am as I say--modest"
