I have dreamed in my life, dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas they have gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind.

He’s more myself than I am
Emily Bronte
Image
You're hard to please: so many friends and so few cares, and can't make yourself content.
Emily Bronte
Image
Sweet Love of youth, forgive, if I forget thee, While the world's tide is bearing me along Sterner desires and darker hopes beset me, Hopes which obscure, but cannot do thee wrong.
Emily Bronte
Image
I got the sexton, who was digging Linton's grave, to remove the earth off her coffin lid, and I opened it. I thought, once, I would have stayed there, when I saw her face again - it is hers yet - he had hard work to stir me but he said it would change, if the air blew on it.

Are you acquainted with the mood of mind in which, if you were seated alone, and the cat licking its kitten on the rug before you, you would watch the operation so intently that puss's neglect of one ear would put you seriously out of temper?
Emily Bronte
Image
You know that I could as soon forget you as my existence!
Emily Bronte
Image
It’s no company at all, when people know nothing and say nothing,’ she muttered.
Emily Bronte
Image
The clock strikes off the hollow half-hours of all the life that is left to you, one by one.
Emily Bronte
Image
I'm happiest when most away I can bear my soul from its home of clay On a windy night when the moon is bright And the eye can wander through worlds of light— When I am not and none beside— Nor earth nor sea nor cloudless sky— But only spirit wandering wide Through infinite immensity.
Emily Bronte
Image
I see heaven's glories shine and faith shines equal.

The old church tower and garden wall Are black with autumn rain And dreary winds foreboding call The darkness down again
Emily Bronte

He... was attached by ties stronger than reason could break -- chains, forged by habit, which it would be cruel to attempt to loosen.
Emily Bronte
Image
He had been content with daily labour and rough animal enjoyments, 'till Catherine crossed his path. Shame at her scorn, and hope of her approval, were his first prompts to higher pursuits and, instead of guarding him from one and winning him to the other, his endeavors to raise himself had produced just the contrary result.

If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger.
