Last night I finished reading Charlotte Brontë's "Shirley" and it left me with such a sweet taste in my mouth that I can't keep it to myself. Besides the fact that I felt like reading each paragraph twice, because every aspect was expressed in a nice way that couldn't be overlook, I found that some of my beliefs were appliable to the characters' lives. And there were all kinds of personalities, each one emphasized by the contrasting presence of the other.
Okay, I don't want to go into detail, I'll just post some of my favourite fragments:

'he exclaimed, abruptly, - "This won't do! There's weakness - there's downright ruin in all this. However," he added, dropping his voice, "the frenzy is quite temporary. I know it very well; I have had it before. It will be gone tomorrow." ' (makes you wonder how long he will keep lying to himself that what he feels is short-lived passion)

"Caroline Helstone was just eighteen years old, and at eighteen the true narrative of life is yet to be commenced. Before that time we sit listening to a tale, a marvellous fiction, delightful sometimes and sad sometimes, almost always unreal. Before that time our world is heroic, its inhabitants half-divine or semi-demon; its scenes are dream-scenes; darker woods and stranger hills, brighter skies, more dangerous waters, sweeter flowers, more tempting fruits, wider plains, drearier deserts, sunnier fields than are found in nature, over- spread our enchanted globe. What a moon we gaze on before that time! How the trembling of our hearts at her aspect bears witness to its unutterable beauty! As to our sun, it is a burning heaven - the world of gods." (quite right, huh?)

Louis Moore: "I used rather to like Solitude - to fancy her a somewhat quiet and serious, yet fair nymph; an Oread, descending to me from lone mountain-passes; something of the blue mist of hills in her array and of their chill breeze in her breath - but much, also, of their solemn beauty in her mien. I once could court her serenely, and imagine my heart easier when I held her to it - all mute, but majestic.
Since that day I called S. to me in the schoolroom, and she came and sat so near my side; since she opened the trouble of her mind to me - asked my protection - appealed to my strength: since that hour I abhor Solitude. Cold abstraction - fleshless skeleton - daughter - mother - and mate of Death!" (*speechless*)

Louis Moore: "through this pencil, I can say what I will - say what I dare utter to nothing living - say what I dare not think aloud."
Oh and there are a lot more

but enough for now. And enough with charming books.
How's life?

P.S.: Good Times are to come

I am god, and so the antichrist
I'm blessed, yet damned
I'm fallen, yet resurrected
I'm all of nothing!

"And the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air
You hear the tolling bell
And touch the silk in your lapel
And as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band
You take her frail hand
And hold on to the dream."
Pink Floyd
