In 'Jane Eyre' by Charlotte Bronte, Jane says 'I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.' This is a very motivational statement as it stands for independence and self - determination. It encourages people to break free from any form of oppression or limitation and assert their own will and freedom.
Sure. From 'Moby - Dick' by Herman Melville, 'All that most maddens and torments; all that stirs up the lees of things; all truth with malice in it; all that cracks the sinews and cakes the brain; all the subtle demonisms of life and thought; all evil, to crazy Ahab, were visibly personified, and made practically assailable in Moby Dick.' This shows Ahab's unwavering determination against all odds, which can be motivating in a way that we should be determined in our pursuits too.
Sure. A great one from 'The Lord of the Rings' by J.R.R. Tolkien is 'All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.' It makes us think about how we should use our time purposefully.
In 'Twilight' by Stephenie Meyer, 'And so the lion fell in love with the lamb...' is a very well - known quote. It's a rather unique way of expressing the love between two characters who seem so different, like a lion and a lamb, which in this case represents the vampire Edward and the human Bella.
One of the best motivational quotes from novels is from 'The Alchemist' by Paulo Coelho: 'When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.' This quote is so inspiring as it gives the idea that if you have a strong desire, the world will support you in reaching your goal.
Sure. In 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen, there may not be many direct quotes about death, but the idea of how death can change the social fabric is there. For example, when Mr. Bennet's estate is entailed away from his daughters due to the lack of a male heir, it shows how death and inheritance laws are intertwined. If he were to die, his daughters would be in a precarious position.
In 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee, Atticus Finch says 'I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what.' This shows that true courage is about persevering even when the odds are against you.
A great quote from a classic love story is from Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. 'All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.' Although it's about families, it also reflects on the nature of love within a relationship. Another one is from Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary. 'She had loved with an ardor that was now turned to ashes, and which nothing could rekindle.' It shows the sad end of a love that once burned brightly.
Benjamin Franklin said, 'Half a truth is often a great lie.' This can be related to fake stories as they often contain some elements of truth but are distorted to create a false narrative. It's a reminder that we should be cautious even when something seems partly true because it could still be a form of misinformation.
In 'Romeo and Juliet' by Shakespeare, 'My bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep; the more I give to thee, The more I have, for both are infinite.' This quote shows how love can seem limitless and ever - growing. Romeo is expressing that his love for Juliet is like the vastness of the sea, and no matter how much he gives of his love, it only multiplies.
Sure. In 'Jane Eyre' by Charlotte Bronte, 'I have for the first time found what I can truly love - I have found you. You are my sympathy - my better self - my good angel. I am bound to you with a strong attachment. I think you good, gifted, lovely: a fervent, a solemn passion is conceived in my heart; it leans to you, draws you to my centre and spring of life, wraps my existence about you, and, kindling in pure, powerful flame, fuses you and me in one.' This quote reflects the deep emotional connection between the characters.
