George Eliot Quote

“Oh, the comfort, 
the inexpressible comfort 
of feeling safe with a person, 
having neither to weigh thoughts 
nor measure words, 
but pouring them all out, 
just as they are, 
chaff and grain together, 
certain that a faithful hand 
will take and sift them, 
keep what is worth keeping, 
and with a breath of kindness 
blow the rest away.” George Eliot

Charlotte Brontë Quote

“There is no happiness like that of 
being loved by your fellow creatures, 
and feeling that your presence is 
an addition to their comfort.” 
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

George Eliot Quote

“Oh, the comfort, 
the inexpressible comfort 
of feeling safe with a person, 
having neither to weigh thoughts 
nor measure words, 
but pouring them all out, 
just as they are, 
chaff and grain together, 
certain that a faithful hand 
will take and sift them, 
keep what is worth keeping, 
and with a breath of kindness 
blow the rest away.” George Eliot

Katherine Mansfield Quote

“I always felt that the great high privilege, 
relief and comfort of friendship 
was that one had to explain nothing.” 
Katherine Mansfield
