Emily Bronte
He’s more myself than I am
Emily Bronte
If I were in heaven, Nelly, I should be extremely miserable. Because you are not fit to go there, I answered. All sinners would be miserable in heaven.
Emily Bronte
Any relic of the dead is precious, if they were valued living.
Emily Bronte
My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath: a source of little visible delight, but necessary.
Emily Bronte
wondered how anyone could ever imagine unquiet slumbers, for the sleepers in that quiet earth.
Emily Bronte
Cathy, this lamb of yours threatens like a bull!' he said. 'It is in danger of splitting its skull against my knuckles. By God! Mr. Linton, I'm mortally sorry that you are not worth knocking down!
