“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.”Charlotte Brontë – Jane Eyre, 1847.
Lawton S. Parker – A Shower of Sunspots, 1910.
