Jane Eyre

I can live alone, if self-respect, and circumstances require me so to do. I need not sell my soul to buy bliss. I have an inward treasure born with me, which can keep me alive if all extraneous delights should be withheld, or offered only at a price I cannot afford to give. Non sono un uccello; e non c’è rete che possa intrappolarmi: sono una creatura umana libera, con una libera volontà. I desired liberty; for liberty I gasped; for liberty I uttered a prayer.
