I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will (Charlotte Brontë in Jane Eyre)

"Jane, be still; don't struggle so like a wild, frantic bird, that is rending its own plumage in its desperation."

"I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being, with an independent will; which I now exert to leave you.”

Charlotte Brontë (Jane Eyre)
