More quotes by Emily Bronte
A heaven so clear, an earth so calm, So sweet, so soft, so hushed an air And, deepening still the dreamlike charm, Wild moor-sheep feeding everywhere.
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
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
I'll be as dirty as I please, and I like to be dirty, and I will be dirty!
Emily Bronte
He turned, as he spoke, a peculiar look in her direction, a look of hatred unless he has a most perverse set of facial muscles that will not, like those of other people, interpret the language of his soul.
Emily Bronte

Emily Bronte
Proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves.
Emily Bronte
I wish I were a girl again, half savage and hardy, and free... Why am I so changed? I'm sure I should be myself were I once among the heather on those hills.
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
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
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
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
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
By this curious turn of disposition I have gained the reputation of deliberate heartlessness how undeserved, I alone can appreciate.
Emily Bronte
I despise him for himself, and hate him for the memories he revives!
Emily Bronte
wondered how anyone could ever imagine unquiet slumbers, for the sleepers in that quiet earth.
Emily Bronte
Time brought resignation and a melancholy sweeter than common joy.
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.
