A blunder for this Monday:
ATV has an article on a recent survey (supposedly carried out by Lego Botanicals) in which a quote from Sense and Sensibility 1995 is misattributed to Charlotte Brontë. The survey also includes a quote from Wuthering Heights.
A new study of 2,000 UK adults has uncovered the most romantic written lines of all time, drawing on classic literature, poetry, film and song to pinpoint the phrases that still make hearts flutter in 2026. And while the nation clearly still cherishes grand declarations of love, the research suggests many of us are quietly losing the confidence to put our own feelings into words.
Topping the poll is Charlotte Brontë’s enduring promise from Jane Eyre:
“My heart is, and always will be, yours.”
A line that has survived nearly two centuries — and still beats every modern text message hands down. [...]
Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights also secured its place in the nation’s heart, with Catherine Earnshaw’s declaration of spiritual unity — “Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same” — continuing to define literary passion at its most intense. (Liz Charlton)
Daily Mail had an article about this survey a few days ago and attributed the quote rightly.
AnneBrontë.org has a post on Anne's poem 'My God! O Let Me Call Thee Thine!'
