Quote

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.

I will walk where my own nature would be leading.
Emily Bronte
Image
My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath: a source of little visible delight, but necessary.
Emily Bronte
Image
I shall smile when wreaths of snow Blossom where the rose should grow.
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
You have left me so long to struggle against death, alone, that I feel and see only death! I feel like death!
Emily Bronte
Image
He shall never know how I love him: and that, not because he's handsome, Nelly, but because he is more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.
Emily Bronte
Image
And, even yet, I dare not let it languish, Dare not indulge in memory's rapturous pain Once drinking deep of that divinest anguish, How could I seek the empty world again?

No coward soul is mine, No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere.
Emily Bronte

I cannot express it: but surely you and everybody have a notion that there is, or should be, an existence of yours beyond you.
Emily Bronte

Emily Bronte
Image
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
Image

Emily Bronte
Image
Earnsha was not to be civilized with a wish, and my young lady was no philosopher, and no paragon of patience but both their minds tending to the same point - one loving and desiring to esteem, and the other loving and desiring to be esteemed - they contrived in the end to reach it.
Emily Bronte
Image
Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree.
Emily Bronte
Image
Look on the grave where thou must sleep Thy last, and strongest foe It is endurance not to weep, If that repose seem woe.
Emily Bronte
Image
What kind of living will it be when you - Oh, God! Would you like to live with your soul in the grave?
Emily Bronte
Image
You know that I could as soon forget you as my existence!
Emily Bronte
Image
Honest people don't hide their deeds.
Emily Bronte

If he loved with all the powers of his puny being, he couldn't love as much in eighty years as I could in a day.
