Inspiration/mood boards have been everywhere lately, and I'm starting to really love the trend. The idea behind it is to create a collection of images that capture a certain mood, or inspire you along a particular theme. The ones I've seen so far have done both excellently, so I wanted to give it a try for myself!
For my first board, I decided to choose Jane Eyre as my theme because it's a novel that always inspires me. I didn't want to just use pictures or stills from the movies though, because that seemed a little too easy. So I did a little hunting for pictures on my own that I think really capture the spirit of Jane Eyre.
This is also my excuse to share some of my favorite Jane Eyre quotes with you ;) I hope you like it!
“It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquillity: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it. Millions are condemned to a stiller doom than mine, and millions are in silent revolt against their lot. Nobody knows how many rebellions besides political rebellions ferment in the masses of life which people earth. Women are supposed to be very calm generally: but women feel just as men feel; they need exercise for their faculties, and a field for their efforts, as much as their brothers do."
"Appearance should not be mistaken for truth; narrow human doctrines, that only tend to elate and magnify a few, should not be substituted for the world-redeeming creed of Christ."
“I can live alone, if self-respect, and circumstances require me so to do. I need not sell my soul to buy bliss. I have an inward treasure born with me, which can keep me alive if all extraneous delights should be withheld, or offered only at a price I cannot afford to give.”
