Your quote is from Jane Eyre!
No, actually Charlotte Bronte wrote Jane Eyre, her sister, Emily Bronte wrote Wuthering Heights which is where my quote is from. :-)

“Men have called me mad; but the question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence– whether much that is glorious– whether all that is profound– does not spring from disease of thought– from moods of mind exalted at the expense of the general intellect.”
—Edgar Allan Poe
“You can only come to the morning through the shadows.”
—J.R.R. Tolkien
“Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn’t nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand.”
—Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
“Dusk is just an illusion because the sun is either above the horizon or below it. And that means that day and night are linked in a way that few things are there cannot be one without the other yet they cannot exist at the same time. How would it feel I remember wondering to be always together yet forever apart?”
—Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook
