Aus "Jane Eyre" von Charlotte Brontë:

"Neben dem Wohnzimmer lag ein kleiner Frühstücksraum, dort huschte ich hinein.Es gab da einen Bücherschrank; bald hatte ich mir einen Band herausgenommen, wobei ich darauf
achtete, daß er Bilder enthielt. Ich kletterte in den Fenstersitz, schlug die Beine wie ein Türke untereinander, zog den roten Moiré-Vorhang fast ganz zu und schloß mich doppelt von aller Welt ab."

So, when over the years, when I have said to someone, "You make me happy!" Several people have retorted, "Only you can make you happy." What do you think? Is happiness only from within oneself?

(Mucking around with the graphic; not a fan but eh, it will do.)

Just realised this:

The #Brontë sisters, and also a brother, have all died of consumption as young adults, most probably because their deeply #religious father denied them access to medical care and/or strongly discouraged them from doing so.

One of the sisters says "God's will will be done", or something to that effect. And another one was denied access by a family relative.
