Image
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
Image
Hereafter she is only my sister in name not because I disown her, but because she has disowned me.
Emily Bronte
Image
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
Image
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
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
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
Oh, for the time when I shall sleep Without identity.
Emily Bronte
Image
It’s no company at all, when people know nothing and say nothing,’ she muttered.
Emily Bronte
Image
Last night, I was on the threshold of hell. To-day, I am within sight of my heaven. I have my eyes on it: hardly three feet to sever me!
Emily Bronte
Image
Honest people don't hide their deeds.
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
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
Image
If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger.
Emily Bronte
Image
I will walk where my own nature would be leading.
Emily Bronte
Image
Proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves.
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?
Emily Bronte
Image
You have been compelled to cultivate your reflective faculties, for want of occasions for frittering your life away in silly trifles.
Emily Bronte
Image
The entire world is a collection of memoranda that she did exist, and that I have lost her.
Emily Bronte

He’s more myself than I am

They forgot everything the minute they were together again.
