Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


"Life," she went on, "is said to be full of pain to some. I have read
biographies where the wayfarer seemed to journey on from suffering to
suffering; where Hope flew before him fast, never alighting so near,
or lingering so long, as to give his hand a chance of one realizing
grasp. I have read of those who sowed in tears, and whose harvest, so
far from being reaped in joy, perished by untimely blight, or was
borne off by sudden whirlwind; and, alas! some of these met the winter
with empty garners, and died of utter want in the darkest and coldest
of the year."
