Great British Writers -
Jane Austen Wall Poster
b. 12-16-1775; Steventon, Hampshire
d. 7-18-1817
Mr. Darcy had at first scarcely allowed her to be pretty; he had looked at her without admiration at the ball, and when thay next met, he looked at her only to criticise. But no sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends that she had hardly a good feature in her face, than he began to find it was rendered uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes. — Pride and Prejudice

Charlotte Brontë Wall Poster
b. 4-21-1816
d. 3-31-1855
"This was a demoniac laugh— low, suppressed, and deep— uttered, as it seemed, at the very keyhole of my chamber door. The head of my bed was near the door, and I thought at first the goblin-laugher stood at my bedside—or rather, crouched by my pillow: but I rose, looked round, and could see nothing; while, as I still gazed, the unnatural sound was reiterated: and I knew it came from behind the panels. My first impulse was to rise and fasten the bolt; my next, again to cry out, "Who is there?" — Jane Eyre

d. 10-25-1400
"A woman wise will strive continually, To get herself loved, when she's not, you see.

b. 12-22-1880
"So, year after year, Silas Marner had lived in this solitude, his guineas rising in the iron pot, and his life narrowing and hardening itself more and more into a mere pulsation of desire and satisfaction that had no relation to any other being. His life had reduced itself to the functions of weaving and hoarding, without any contemplation of an end towards which the functions tended." — Silas Marnar

George Orwell Wall Poster
b. 6-25-1903
d. 1-21-1950
"Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals. He sets them to work, he gives back to them the bare minimum that will prevent them from starving, and the rest he keeps for himself. Our labour tills the soil, our dung fertilises it, and yet there is not one of us that owns more than his bare skin." — Animal Farm

William Shakespeare Wall Poster
b. 4-23-1564
d. 5-3-1616
Good name in man and woman, dear my lord,
Is the immediate jewel of their souls:
Who steals my purse steals trash; 'tis something, nothing;
'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands;
But he that filches from me my good name
Robs me of that which not enriches him
And makes me poor indeed.
— Othello
