Not Hindley's advice

NPR has a challenge:

Next Week's Challenge from listener Gary Witkin of Newark, Del.: Using only the six letters of the name "Bronte," repeating them as often as necessary, spell a familiar six-word phrase. What is it? (Will Shortz)

Patrick Strudwick paraphrases Charlotte Brontë in an opinion column in The Independent.

But like Charlotte Brontë's Shirley, I believe that we were intended to prize life and enjoy it. 

The actual quote comes from chapter XXII:

God surely did not create us and cause us to live with the sole end of wishing always to die. I believe in my heart we were intended to prize life and enjoy it so long as we retain it. Existence never was originally meant to be that useless, blank, pale, slow-trailing thing it often becomes to many, and is becoming to me among the rest.

The Boston Globe reviews the novel When Captain Flint Was Still a Good Man by Nick Dybek where

While growing up, Richard was known as a sullen boy who kept to himself and left town after high school. Most people barely remember him. Now, they are at his mercy.
Richard is a familiar literary type: an unhappy man who lacks talent, character, and charisma, and wreaks destruction all around him, simply because he can. What he has is a gift for resentment and a taste for raining down humiliation on easy targets. Think Mordred, in the legend of King Arthur; Hindley Earnshaw, in “Wuthering Heights”; Mrs. Danvers, in “Rebecca.” (Nan Goldberg)

More Brontë references in reviews of Dark Shadows. This one from Down East:

When the late Dan Curtis initially dreamt up Dark Shadows, a soap opera that ran on ABC between 1966 and 1971 that’s being reimagined by Tim Burton for the big screen, he had just one image in mind: that of a young girl named Victoria Winters riding on a train to the coast of Maine. The show would proceed from there, he thought, in the vein of Jane Eyre, as a gothic tale of class, family, and romance where the quaint English countryside was replaced by the fictional seaside town of Collinsport, Maine. (Will Bleakley)
