Heaven did not seem to be my home and I broke my heart with weeping to come back to earth and the angels were so angry that they flung me out into the middle of the heath on the top of Wuthering Heights where I woke sobbing for joy.

More quotes by Emily Bronte
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.
Emily Bronte
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
I have fled my country and gone to the heather.
Emily Bronte
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
Be with me always - take any form - drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I can not live without my life! I can not live without my soul!
Emily Bronte

Emily Bronte

Emily Bronte
It’s no company at all, when people know nothing and say nothing,’ she muttered.
Emily Bronte
Any relic of the dead is precious, if they were valued living.
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
Honest people don't hide their deeds.
Emily Bronte
But there's this one difference: one is gold put to the use of paving-stones, and the other is tin polished to ape a service of silver. Mine has nothing valuable about it yet I shall have the merit of making it go as far as such poor stuff can go. His had first-rate qualities, and they are lost, rendered worst than unavailing.
Emily Bronte
Proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves.
Emily Bronte
Joseph is the wearisomest and self-righteous Pharisee who ever ransacked the Bible to rake the promises to himself and fling the curses on his neighbor.
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
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
Terror made me cruel.
Emily Bronte
In secret pleasure — secret tears This changeful life has slipped away
Emily Bronte
No coward soul is mine.
Emily Bronte
I gave him my heart, and he took and pinched it to death and flung it back to me.
