I'm not sure if this fits the criteria for quotes, but still:
'In signing her letters, and giving her address, Charlotte spelt her last name Brontī. But the monumental statue in the church where they worshipped, where the successive deaths of the whole family are recorded, the name stands as Brontë; and this must be considered the established spelling.'
It's from Biographical Sketches by Harriet Martineau
