Emily Bronte
Image
My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods. Time will changeit,I'mwellaware, aswinterchangesthetrees. My Love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneatha source of little visible delight but necessary. Nelly, I am Heathcliff.
Emily Bronte

Emily Bronte
Image
Terror made me cruel.
Emily Bronte

I have fled my country and gone to the heather.
Emily Bronte
Image
We must be for ourselves in the long run the mild and generous are only more justly selfish than the domineering.
Emily Bronte
Image
The winter wind is loud and wild, Come close to me, my darling child Forsake thy books, and mate less play And, while the night is gathering grey, We'll talk its pensive hours away.
Emily Bronte
Image
I gave him my heart, and he took and pinched it to death and flung it back to me.
Emily Bronte
Image
Still let my tyrants know, I am not doomed to wear Year after year in gloom, and desolate despair A messenger of Hope comes every night to me, And offers for short life, eternal liberty.
Emily Bronte
Image
I gave him my heart, and he took and pinched it to death and flung it back to me. People feel with their hearts, Ellen, and since he has destroyed mine, I have not power to feel for him.
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.
Emily Bronte
Image
The entire world is a collection of memoranda that she did exist, and that I have lost her.
