"Coming down for the thousandth time, I'm perched on the precipice of a billion broken promises.

I looked at my love: that feeling which had been my master's --- which he had created; it shivered in my heart, like a suffering child in a cold cradle; sickness and anguish had seized it; it could not seek Mr Rochester's arms --- it could not derive warmth from his breast. Oh, never more could it turn to him; for faith was blighted -- confidence destroyed!"

Everybody knows how to destroy a good thing. It's easy."
