Anne Bronte Quotes

A little girl loves her bird--Why? Because it lives and feels; because it is helpless and harmless? A toad, likewise, lives and feels, and is equally helpless and harmless; but though she would not hurt a toad, she cannot love it like the bird, with its graceful form, soft feathers, and bright, speaking eyes.

Marcel Proust

We are lost, she and I, unseen and not seeing; unheard and not hearing, unknown by others. Amy Tan
